Easter… Pagan or Christian?

It is found nowhere within the sacred scriptures of the Christian faith that any particular Lord’s Day ought to be held in higher esteem than any other. We are told not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together in Hebrews 10:25 and we know that the early churches assembled together on the Lord’s day to partake of the Lord’s supper according to Acts 20:7, “Now on the first [day] of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread…”
We are also instructed as to how we are to remember Jesus death on the cross, it is not with an annual ceremony, but with a weekly observance in shared communion of a simple loaf and a cup filled with the fruit of the vine…. So if this is what is revealed… where did all this Easter stuff come from? Good question.
