The author has spent many hours digging into ancient texts and numerous other resources to
uncover the obscure and little-known origins of the Easter tradition as it is celebrated in North
America and the Western World.
Easter is an annual celebration observed throughout the Christian world. However, there are
absolutely no verses in the Bible that authorize or endorse the keeping of this tradition. Further
– the Bible does not mention anything about Easter eggs, Easter baskets, Easter bunnies, or
even Lent! The author includes convincing evidence to show that these very items were part of
the pagan rituals of the Mystery Religion of ancient Babylon.
Where did the tradition of celebrating Easter originate? The author exposes the hidden
accounts of the original Easter festival which was initiated several thousand years ago - many
years before the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
This post-Flood festival was part of the false religion Mystery Babylon and was started by
Nimrod and his wife Semiramis (also known as Ishtar). They not only instituted the building of
the Tower of Babel, they also established themselves as god and goddess to be worshipped
by the people of Babylon. They are the co-founders of all the counterfeit religions that have ever
existed.
Nimrod was worshipped as the Sun God. He was worshipped in numerous cultures and
countries under a variety of names: Samas, Attis, Uti, Merodach/Marduk, Ninus, Bel/Baal,
Moloch, Tammuz - the list is virtually endless.
The name Easter actually comes from Ishtar /Eostre who was worshipped as the moon
goddess, the goddess of spring and fertility, and the Queen of Heaven. She is known by so
many other names in other countries and cultures that she is often referred to as the goddess
of one thousand names. Millions of people are unknowingly worshipping and praying to this
pagan goddess today. What is her present-day name?
The Babylonians celebrated the day of Ishtar / Easter as the return of the goddess of Spring –
the re-birth or reincarnation of Nature and the goddess of Nature. Babylonian legend says that
each year a huge egg would fall from heaven and would land in the area around the Euphrates
River. In her yearly re-birth, Ishtar would break out of this egg and if any of those celebrating
this occasion happened to find her egg, Ishtar would bestow a special blessing on that
person. Does this explain the origin of our modern-day tradition of Easter eggs and baskets
and Easter egg hunts?
Other pagan rites that were connected with this celebration and which are part of our modern
Easter tradition are Easter offerings to the Queen of Heaven (consisting of freshly cut flowers,
hot buns decorated with crosses, and star-shaped cakes); new clothes to celebrate this festival
(The pagan priests wore new clothes or robes and the Vestal Virgins wore new white dresses
or robes and bonnets on their heads.); and sunrise services (to symbolically hasten the yearly
arrival of Ishtar’s egg from heaven - the re-incarnation of the spring goddess). Do we still
worship Ishtar today? Are we making a fatal mistake in following this tradition?
From Babylon, this diabolical mystery religion spread to Egypt, Asia, Europe, North and South
America, all over the world, and eventually was incorporated into mainstream Christian
religion.
Most people accept traditions as fact because they have been part of our culture for so long.
This, however, does not mean these traditions are based on Biblical truth. The Easter tradition
has been incorporated into Christian churches, but this does not make it Christian! If Easter is
not a true Christian celebration, what is it?
What about the timing of our Easter tradition? Jesus told the scribes and Pharisees that when
He died, He would be in the “heart of the earth” for three days and three nights (72 hours)
before He arose. Our traditional Good Friday to Sunday celebration however only accounts for
Jesus’ being in the heart of the earth for two nights and one day. Were the facts of Jesus’
death, burial, and resurrection purposely distorted? Learn who is not telling the truth -- and why!
The author has investigated credible and reliable ancient sources to uncover the real origins
not only of our Easter tradition, but also the real origins of Christian symbols such as the cross
and the church building. Was Jesus nailed to a cross or a tree? Is the true church a physical
building -- or is it something much more?
The real origins of our Easter tradition/celebration have been purposely hidden and obscured.
The Easter festival has been handed down to us from the pagan worship rituals of the ancient
Mystery Babylon religion.
Who are we really honoring and worshipping in the traditional Easter celebration? This book
is a must-read for those who want to learn the real origin of the Easter tradition.
