Are there any Easter Traditions that are related specifically to Jesus' resurrection? The Easter eggs hunts, bunnies and pastel-colored candies seem to be a celebration of spring. Certainly, sermons will be preached on Jesus' resurrection, but are there any Easter Traditions that Christians practice with their families that are focused on Jesus?

Easter Traditions?
Post #1To be clear: Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods.

Not believing isn't the same as believing not.

I must assume that knowing is better than not knowing, venturing than not venturing; and that magic and illusion, however rich, however alluring, ultimately weaken the human spirit.

Post #251On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrifice the Passover lamb, His disciples asked Him, “Where do You want us to go and prepare the Passover so You may eat it?” (Mark 14:12)2ndpillar2 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 04, 2022 1:55 pmThe unblemished lamb is to be sacrificed, and the blood used on the door frames to dissuade the angels of death, and the lamb (Word of God made flesh/bread of life without leaven) to be completely eaten.Athetotheist wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 7:11 pm [Replying to 2ndpillar2 in post #245
What are you meaning by "prepared" here?The unblemished lamb was to be prepared after noon on the 14th of Nissan
Here, the day of the killing of the sacrifice is designated as the day before Jesus died. How could he be the paschal sacrifice if he wasn't "sacrificed" on the right day?

So sunset Friday was one day, sunset Saturday was two days, and resurrection Sunday morning
Do you disagree with scripture and the 3 days in the tomb? Your theory would place the ressurection on Monday

Re: Easter Traditions?
Post #255Actually, there would be at least parts of each one of three calendar days in the tomb with a Friday/Sunday scenario. The problem is with the lack of a third night which was forecast to be involved. That of course is assuming that the "heart of the earth" is referring exclusively to the tomb. The Friday/Sunday proponents usually try to get around that by saying that that is not the case. That the three days/three nights count begins in the night in the garden or that the 3 hours in darkness in the afternoon counts as one of the nights.

Re: Easter Traditions?
Post #259Yeah… you do get that a Sunrise service is not about worshiping the Sun, right? We go outside at dawn to worship the one God, not to worship the closest star to earth. Would you be okay if we call it the Dawn Service? The First Light Service? The Worship Service That Happens At 7:08 AM, But Only In 2023 Because Easter Is Not Always On the Same Day of the Year So the Time of the Service Changes Every Year?Ozzy_O wrote: ↑Mon Dec 05, 2022 6:53 amFor real?

Re: Easter Traditions?
Post #260In the ancient Middle Eastern culture, a day was counted if any part of the day was included. So if something started at 6:00 PM on Tuesday and ended at 1:00 AM on Wednesday then it would have lasted 2 days. I know that we would say that it lasted 7 hours, and that’s fine. Both are correct in their own context.rstrats wrote: ↑Mon Dec 05, 2022 10:03 amHow do you account for the lack of a third night?JehovahsWitness wrote: ↑Mon Dec 05, 2022 8:48 am
