Craig...a question you could answer if possible. Last night my beautiful good lady was having a conversation about easter....My question is this... Why do we celebrate Christmas on the same day every year but yet easter changes its dates.??

Hi Yes the link says it quite well so I don't need to repeat it It is strange we celebrate Christmas on 25th as Jesus was born on or around September 11th 3BC!!!!

You may find it interesting to observe that out of the 7 feasts the Jews in Israel at the time celebrated.
The 3 spring feasts.
PASSOVER
THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD
THE FEAST OF FIRSTFRUITS
were fulfilled literally in the Crucifixion and resurrection on that first Easter.

The forth feast,
THE FEAST OF PENTECOST (WEEKS)
was fullfilled on the first Pentecost after the Crucifiction,

The last three Feasts
THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS
THE DAY OF ATONEMENT
THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES
Some people believe at the second coming Christ will fulfil these.

Anyway Happy Easter everyone and don't eat too much chocolate

Jesus's official birthday is on the 25th of December because... we were already celebrating that day. Before it was Jesus, it was Mithras (Persia ), Attis (Roman), Dionysus (Greek) & Osiris (Egypt) being celebrated that day. Plus of couse the pagan post solistice feast which happened roughly that week of the year anyway.

Craig, are you up on the old bible?

1 corinthians 13 line 13. The greater of these keeps changing from bible to bible I read.

Happy Easter.

Psychostorm, is this the verse you mean? 1 Cor 13:13 (ESV) So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. Old English Bibles might say charity which is a good translation of the word αγαπη. That is, love which is, by nature, giving without the expectation of return.
