Easter

Easter is arguably the most important of holidays for Christendom. The entire premise of Christianity is that Jesus died for us, descended to the dead, rose on the third day, ascended into heaven, and through his sacrifice we receive the grace of God and are forgiven of our sins. So Easter, the day he rose, is of extreme importance. Now, I have just started being active in my faith again. I have never done all of the Lent and Holy Week things, but I enjoy Easter because of what it represents. Lunch or dinner with family after church. Its a good time. The chocolate is pretty awesome, too.

Also, celebrations of Eostre are a good time, too. Lots of drink, dancing, and sex. Ninja

This post may point to some of the reasons why Easter never seemed to have primacy to me. The Eostre symbols do seem to overwhelm the Christian ones more than with some other holidays that while Christian, nonetheless steal pagan imagery.

Arguably the most important, yes, but as you say it is faith and ultimately even the great Thomas Aquinas said his Summa Theologica was, "just straw." It is all spit balling.

I wonder if I had created a poll if I would have gotten more responses... How do you like your Easter rabbits, hollow or solid chocolate comes to mind...
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
