What Easter Gifts Make Sense?

The resurrection of Christ is what Easter is all about also making it the most essential of all Christian holy days. However, currently the importance of the holiday is covered by colored eggs and rabbits. Easter can fall any day between March 22 and April 25 since is occurs the first Sunday following the full moon. Easter is also linked to the Jewish Passover in symbolism and it’s location in the calendar. What’s with Rabbits and eggs and Easter? Well the bunny is a well know sexual symbol of fertility. Religions linked with Babel associate the rabbit with periodicity, both human and lunar. The Mother Goddess Semiramis (Easter) is linked with the moon. Therefore, the Easter bunny represents the Mother Goddess and is associated with once a year Spring time fertility rituals worshiping the Mother Goddess. Dyed Easter eggs are a part of the activities too that came from the egg which was a sanctified symbol among the Babylonians. They assumed that a terrific size egg plummeted from heaven into the Euphrates River from which the Goddess Semiramis was hatched. It is something to think about how many of us genuinely think about the actual meaning of this holiday except for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. easter basket for children boysIt has grown to be another retail holiday and over commercialized.
