I find it interesting the catholic church claim as their own

I find it interesting every year at Easter when the catholic church spokes-people come out of the woodwork and talk about remembering the true meaning of easter. I always smile and think back to the true meaning of easter, the feast of fertility. Of course a few hundred years ago the minority catholics leeched onto the fertility festival and used it as an excuse to also celebrate their own feast, that of Jesus dying and rising from the dead. Have you ever wondered about the symbol for easter being the decorated egg, it represents fertility and new life. Have you ever wondered why the dates for easter are set by the phase of the moon and not a set date... again, the pagans, once again setting their festival by the moon. And now the Christians want me to remember the true meaning of easter, well I do remember, I want the priests to remember the true meaning of easter, then maybe they might show a little more tolerance to us pagans,who they have taken so much from..... Like Easter. If you want to learn more about the pagan calender and festivals have a look at http://www.dowhatyewill.com/wiccan_calender. Blessings Diana.
