Should Christians Celebrate Easter
Easter, Godly Or Pagan?
Whether Christians should celebrate Easter is a matter of personal conviction and church tradition.
Most celebrate it as the most important event in Christianity, honouring Jesus' resurrection and victory over sin and death.
Others avoid it, citing potential pagan origins of traditions or its lack of a direct scriptural mandate.
The resurrection is foundational to the Christian faith, and Easter provides a focused time to celebrate Jesus’ victory over sin and death.
Many say that Easter is a pagan festival, and yes, I am certain that the devil brought his own version of events and religious ceremonies, celebrations, and false beliefs. But if your celebration is focused on Jesus, purposed to glorify the Almighty, and you are not taking part in any false religion or demonic ceremony, your celebration will be right with God.
For Christianity, Easter celebrates God's promise fulfilled and provides a reminder of the promise of eternal life.
While not explicitly commanded, early Christians established the tradition of commemorating the resurrection with praise and worship and continues today.
Easter brings families and churches together for worship, sunrise services, and celebration.
Some say that Easter eggs represent an evil version of fertility, and I am certain that the devil has his own version of things, but he is a deceiver (REVELATION 12:9) and will do anything to bring division in church.
For Christians, Easter eggs represent new life, rebirth, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ, symbolizing the empty tomb from which he emerged.
Traditionally, they represent the blood of Christ (when dyed red) and celebrate the end of the Lenten fasting period, evolving from ancient spring fertility symbols into modern chocolate treats.
The egg represents the tomb, and breaking of the shell symbolizes Jesus rising from the dead.
Ancient cultures (including Persian and early Europeans) saw eggs as symbols of fertility, rebirth, and the start of spring.
Because eggs were forbidden during Lent, they were stored and then decorated to be eaten or gifted on Easter Sunday.
The tradition of rolling eggs is to symbolize the rolling away of the stone from Jesus’ tomb, and in many traditions, eggs are dyed red to symbolize the blood of Christ shed during the crucifixion.
The Easter bunnies are nothing more than folkloric figures and symbolise Easter traditions.
They are nothing more than traditional fun for children and brings joy and fun into the Easter celebrations.
For me, Easter is an opportunity to revive our enthusiasm for Christ and praise Him even more.
Finally, “I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.”
Romans 14:14 NKJV
If you believe Easter brings glory to God, celebrate it, but if you think it might be sin, don’t do it.
“Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.”
Romans 14:22-23 NKJV
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen
