Easter

Since I don't have an Easter post figured I would put one up at least as a reference for future purposes. I've attempted to include definitions from both sides of the house so to speak.

Instead of re-inventing or in this case re-typing all the information here are links from the "Non" Christian side of the house, (I got most these from Beep Beep Its Me , thanks for the recent reference post :)

• How and When Easter is Celebrated
• The Pagan Origins of Easter
• Easter - Its Origins and Meanings
• The Wikipedia entry for Easter
  

Next I've included some of the "Christian" explanations for Easter

• What is the origin of Easter
• The True Origin of Easter
• The Pagan Origin of Easter
• The conservapedia entry
  

Of course most of these links were not hard to come by in fact at the time of this post they are pretty much the first ones displayed in a Google Search for "origin of Easter".
