I don't understand this.
Almost every Major Christian holiday falls on the same day as a major pagan holiday and incorporates the same symbology. I understand that the Roman Churchs were trying to incorporate Romes vastly Pagan Population, but isn't it an afront to god to use these Pagan Holidays. Especially Easter. It is easily the most confusing Christian Holiday because the only thing that appears chirstian about it is that fact that we say that it is the day that Jesus rose from the dead, which is oddly specific because modern dating of ancient events never gets much closer that a week to the day that the actual event took place. was their a specific date in the bible or some other religious text that I don't know about.
