Thanks for the thought, dude. But...
Easter, the name of the holiday, has bugger all to do with Jesus.
Dunno how it's been up in LawnGuyLin (as the folks I've known from there pronounce it), but after 3 weeks of cold rain and wind, it appears that Spring has arrived. Not a zombielike thing at all, in my opinion. Cf. the "little ice age" for how it was (or could be) for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere Temperate Zone if the rain doesn't stop and the temps stay low.
Admitting that I have a physical body which needs to be fed and stuff doesn't make me a fuzzy bunny white lite tree hugging zombie eating believer.

I would rather it be zombie day then Jesus day anyday.
Brainnnnnnnns!
Most of the evidence shows that it began as a pagan holiday. Those pagans who do celebrate it do so at the spring equinox, and call the sabbat Ostara.
ent:
- the irony that one of the most important holidays celebrated by Christians, many of whom have no tolerance for Moon worship or anything else pagan, is fixed according to the phases of the Moon, i.e. the first Sunday after the first full Moon after the equinox
:lunar: - chocolate goes on sale for up to 75% off on Easter Monday

Christianity (and the other Mediterranean monotheisms) owe their success and longevity to the cleverness of their doctrinal founders and subsequent enforcers in exploiting the very real concerns all humans share (whether they consciously acknowledge them or not), regardless of spiritual orientations.
In my view, they are parasitical forms. Some humans have an affinity-relationship with these monotheisms, while others can accept that they exist, study them if interested, but otherwise brush them off.
at the relationship between Christian Easter and the moon cycles, the history of which is interesting research.
The chocolate sale isn't anything to me, though, because I am allergic to the cocoa-and-cola family of plant foods. I have to limit my intake of chocolate to very small occasional amounts so as not to build up any further sensitivity to it, and avoid cola drinks altogether. It's okay, though, because I like bourbon and ginger much more than rum and coke

The two things I like most about Easter are:
- the irony that one of the most important holidays celebrated by Christians, many of whom have no tolerance for Moon worship or anything else pagan, is fixed according to the phases of the Moon, i.e. the first Sunday after the first full Moon after the equinox

Easter comes from the Anglo-Saxon (and continental Saxon) deity named Eostre (Ostara on the mainland.) She was the Goddess of fertility, which is where the rabbits and eggs come from, them being symbols of fertility. It was a festival totally dedicated to her and to the Spring equinox. The Christians took it and used the pagan symbols in order to attract more pagans to convert.

Well ... amongst all of the many things that Easter is
(and isn't)
to the many people out there,
it is ALSO
Zombie Jesus day.
Christian parody is not exactly out of place here.
Still I liked the Grilled Cheesus even better.
Glee!
That was one of their best episodes ever. :yes:
A sense of humor goes a long way.

Yes, but we're talking about a Zombie Jesus day here.
Isn't that much better than an ordinary Jesus day?
And besides, technically, it's still a zombie day.
