Does anyone else here find it quite amusing that the Celebration of the Supposed Resurrection has 'miraculously' fallen on April Fools Day this year.
A kind of subtle 'Poetic Justice' to my way of thinking.

Amusing indeed, I love a good bit of irony in life from time to time.

Christmas has the same Historical significance as it is really the Pagan Feast of Sagittarius and then if you really go into the Celelbratory Festivities it really gets spicy and lots of fun. I got going on it way back and I was amazed at what went on so I'll let you go and delve into it and tell us what you know, found or are trying to confirm. I still can't figure out when I drive by a Church that is sponsoring and Easter Egg Hunt whose the Religious Leader at the forefront.

Religion, itself, is amusing but people take it so damned seriously.

I find it strange that a magical moment in history keeps changing its date.

That's because it follows the Jewish lunar calendar. Easter/Passover is always the first full moon after the Equinox.
Basically, time to have a celebration before planting the spring crops.
Was stolen from old religion pre christianity.
Easter sunday always is on the full moon
I know that Christian holidays are based on pre-existing holy days, but isn't it a bit confusing to all deities concerned? And if they are 'angry and jealous', should we expect believers to be going around with lightning rods on these days?
Most interesting! About Wed, we should have reserrection?

Bet you won't hear a preacher say tomorrow, "Christ is risen! April Fool!"
