The true meaning of Easter, by Stephen Collins (who writes his own amazing #AltText)

"PAGAN GODDESS: Aisle four is full of products, with no hint of the true meaning of the festival!

BECKY: You mean … Jesus …?

PAGAN GODDESS: I mean shagging, Vicky."

@Natasha_Jay I imagine that the christian holiday went mixed with a an already present ritual over there. By those times religions and conquers were surely predating existing deities and rituals, to be accepted like "how do you call it? Easter, Eostre, ostrich, allright, is the same of ours, trust me. Now let's talk again of that gold"

@luc0x61 The Jesus story was deliberately placed on the calendar where spring rites already were, in order to co-opt them and begin the process of conversion, just like Christmas. @Natasha_Jay

@ZenHeathen @Natasha_Jay I couldn't say it any better (I'm limited by language).

@luc0x61 As far as I'm concerned, you won the internet today. I'm switching off my phone, I won't read anything better than this in the next few hours.

Thank you for your service.
