I'd like to take a moment to wish a happy NON-Easter to many of you here

I think many non-religious people get into the Easter thing for the dinner, socializing, the candy and fun with the kids looking for eggs etc.

I definitely don't believe it. It is a nice story and that's all. Have a great Sunday yourself.

Have a lovely Sunday, JJ. I know that red is the best. Of course there are some people who believe (not true) that yellow is the best colour.

Thanks! I appreciate that! Happy Easter to you.

This is the first easter where I've been interested in the celebrations For all of my life easter has just been about getting chocolate eggs etc...and double bubble pay wise if you work This year was different as most of the people I work with are eastern european and easter is a big deal to them. Very busy day today which resulted in restaurant staff doing a couple of hours over time which impacted on their big plans for dinner Spent most of my shift listening to various nationalities discuss how they celebrate easter...I really enjoyed it Obviously religion camee up and I didn't know they were all so religious...and they didn't know about my alien theories Very good day though

I know what you mean and many people dont celebrate the religious part of it. is still Easter though with chocolate and lots of good food and family get togethers.

Thank you very much, I believe every religion has its own beliefs. Have a great Easter!

Actually, the real anniversary of the resurrection was Friday. Easter seems to be a mixture of business and religion, with bunnies and eggs and all. The early Christians did not celebrate Easter.

I agree, purple is prettier then red!

The Easter tradition is built upon the Passover, which itself was built upon the solstice and fertility celebrations that preceded it by thousands of years. All are about and end to the darkness and a coming or returning of the light. The fact behind them all is, that in the Northern Hemisphere at least, the darkness of long winter nights gives way to the longer days of spring and summer.

I am ok with people wishing me a happy easter, even if for me that day is no different.

Eh, you can not believe in the who resurrection spiel and still Enjoy Easter. The kids hunt for eggs and get excited about it. The grown-ups get to spend time with family. Same with Passover. Were there really locusts and frogs and stuff? Did a big ol' sea really part for the Jews and drown a bunch of mean old Egyptians? Eh, let's recline and eat and talk over each other!

Thank you for the wishes and happy Easter to you. Being a Hindu from India, I came to the Christian culture via the convent school's nun. I know about Christmas, as usual, and good friday. Would like to learn more about the Easter.

happy easter my frindes

Alternative facts I tell you, nothing but mere alternative facts.

I definitely agree. I don't believe in all that Resurrection spiel either. Faith and realism are two very different things. Thanks. Hope your Sunday is nice too.

Oh, and for the record, my youngest son doesn't believe in purple. This is not a joke. He cannot see purple, and he will insist that you are making it up if you tell him something is purple.

Thanks, I appreciate the Happy Sunday, my husband is among those who do not celebrate Easter. May I wish you a very Happy Unbirthday?

well said my man.

Ah the relief of this post! Thank you so much
