How is it a holiday for KIDS?

Easter, the principal festival of the Christian church year, celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his Crucifixion. The origins of Easter date to the beginnings of Christianity, and it is probably the oldest Christian observance after the Sabbath (observed on Saturday). Later, the Sabbath subsequently came to be regarded as the weekly celebration of the Resurrection.

Um . . . No , it is not. It is a High Holy Day.

I didn't see them, but they sure are in poor taste.

I guess Easter's meaning is whatever you want it to be, whether it be religious or for children, a person's choice, anyhow i just thought it all in bad taste myself.

[AllAmericanPUP]

yes that is in very bad taste

Easter may be a holy holiday to those that are religous but to the rest of us it's a holiday for the kids

Im sure most of you have figured out that I find much Funnay in poor taste humor.

I'd like to take it one step further (or back, in this case), if I may:

Quote:

Easter, a Christian festival, embodies many pre-Christian traditions. The origin of its name is unknown. Scholars, however, accepting the derivation proposed by the 8th-century English scholar St. Bede, believe it probably comes from Eastre, the Anglo-Saxon name of a Teutonic goddess of spring and fertility, to whom was dedicated a month corresponding to April. Her festival was celebrated on the day of the vernal equinox; traditions associated with the festival survive in the Easter rabbit, a symbol of fertility, and in colored easter eggs, originally painted with bright colors to represent the sunlight of spring, and used in Easter-egg rolling contests or given as gifts.

The Christian festival of Easter probably embodies a number of converging traditions; most scholars emphasize the original relation of Easter to the Jewish festival of Passover, or Pesach, from which is derived Pasch, another name for Easter. The early Christians, many of whom were of Jewish origin, were brought up in the Hebrew tradition and regarded Easter as a new feature of the Passover festival, a commemoration of the advent of the Messiah as foretold by the prophets.

I was raised in a Christian home and both Christmas and Easter were
celebrated as Christian holidays. To say that either is not for kids is
absurd. I have very fond memories of both holidays as a time for children.
I remember my first easter egg hunt at 4 that was sponsored by the church. Both are holidays but are also for kids. -------The photos were in bad taste.
