The following article is based on J. R. Terrier’s book “The Easter Celebration – History of Its Hidden Origins
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 parts 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.
The name Easter actually comes from Ishtar / Easter who was worshiped 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.
The Babylonian Connections
(John 8:44, II Corinthians 11:14, 1 Peter 5:8) Ishtar – the Babylonian goddess – is the one for whom Easter is named. Ishtar is but another name for Semiramis – the wife of Nimrod. 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 worshiped by the people of Babylon. They are the co-founders of all the counterfeit religions that have ever existed.
Nimrod was worshiped as the Sun God. He was worshiped 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. [He was also known as Dumuzi by the Sumerians and as RA by the Egyptians.
Millions of people are unknowingly worshiping 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.
[The pope’s ceremonial clothes copy those worn by the ancient priests of Dagon, and not by coincidence. According to the Sumerian tablets, when the Anunnaki god Enki first arrived on Earth, he landed his space ship on water. He later emerged from water wearing his ‘scaly fish-suit’ (astronaut’s suit?). Thousands of years later, the ceremony of the fish god was still celebrated in Akkadia, Assyria and Babylon, by the priests ofDagon… and seemingly it still is today].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).
[The Vatican is secretly perpetuating the ancient pagan rituals and the worship of their ancient “gods” – a.k.a. the Anunnaki. The shadow religion of the world’s “elite” is Satanism and all the positions of power are occupied by Satanists].The Satanic Connections
Easter has its origins in the world of the occult. The Occult / Satanic calendar is comprised of four periods of 13 weeks each. Occultists believe that numbers contain inherent power, and many base their lives on numerology. Numerology is also a key component of astrology – another system occultists follow closely. Thus the occult calendar is divided into 4 parts of 13 weeks each. Note that 13 x 4 = 52 weeks – our year.
In the occult system, the number 6 = man, the number 7 = divine perfection or god, and the number 13 = rebellion against authority and depravity. So, in the occult or satanic world, the number 13 represents the state of man’s having reached divine perfection, self-achieved perfection, and illumination.
According to 8th century scholar St. Bede (also known as the Venerable Bede / Bede, the Venerable), the name Easter is derived from the Scandinavian “Ostra” and the Teutonic “Ostern” or “Eastre” – both of whom were goddesses of mythology and were identified with spring and fertility.
Festivals for these goddesses were celebrated on the first day of the vernal equinox – March 21. Important parts of these pagan celebrations included the rabbit, red eggs, and gifts – all of which represented fertility. Easter is steeped in the Mysteries of ancient Babylon – an evil and idolatrous system.
The Satanic Ritual of Sacrificing Children
Every year, the priests of Ishtar would impregnate young virgins on an altar dedicated to herself and her husband*. The children were born on Christmas (!!!), and the next year they were sacrificed in the Easter’s Sunday at the sunrise service. The priests would take Ishtar’s eggs and dye them in the blood of the sacrificed children.
*Inanna’s husband was none other that the infamous god Moloch or Melekh, to whom children were – and still are – sacrificed in Satanic rituals. Satanism is the religious worship of the Anunnaki, and the human and animal sacrifices were/are part of the rituals.
If you’re finding it hard to believe, then here is an excerpt of the Encyclopaedia Judaica, which identifies Ishtar/Inanna and her husband as the gods to whom children were sacrificed:
“(…) The identification of Hadad-Baal with Moloch provides the background to Jeremiah 32:35, which fulminates against the bamot-altars of Baal in the valley of Ben-Hinnom where male and female children were burnt to Moloch, i.e., Baal-Hadad. Furthermore, a series of Assyrian-Aramean documents analyzed by K. Deller showed that Adadmilki or Adadšarru (“Adad the king”) was actually the god to whom children, sometimes firstborn, were burned (see below).
“The Assyrian material sheds new light on II Kings 17 where Adadmelech (to be read instead of Adrammelech) is the god to whom the Sepharvites burn/dedicate their children (verse 31). Adadmelech in this verse stands next to Anammelech who has been correctly related by scholars to Anath who bears the title ‘Queen of Heaven,’ the standard term for Ishtar in Akkadian (šarrat šamê; cf. Sumerian nin.anna.ak = Inanna). The pair Adad and Ishtar, or the ‘king’ and the ‘queen,’ are the ones to whom children are dedicated in the Assyrian-Aramean documents quoted above.” – The Cult of Moloch, Jewish Library;
The following image was secretly taken during a Satanic ritual in which a human body (child?) was burned in front of a wooden owl statue dedicated to Ishtar/Inanna/Moloch, at Bohemian Grove:
Most of the world’s “elite” (active and former Presidents, Prime Ministers, Politicians, Judges, etc. and even Royalty), take part at this annual ritual. Notice the fish-god priests conducting the ritual. Here is a depiction of Ishtar/Inanna flanked by a couple of owls, and designed to look like an owl herself (notice the legs and wings):
More Inconsistencies
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 of our Easter tradition. Was Jesus nailed to a cross or a tree? Is the true church a physical building — or is it something much more?
There are absolutely no verses anywhere in the Bible that authorize or endorse the keeping of an Easter celebration. Further, the Bible says nothing about the practice of observing Lent, dying Easter eggs, having Easter egg hunts, baskets of candy, bonnets – and so on. Easter has long been known to be a pagan festival. America’s founders knew this.
In the children’s book Easter Parade: Welcome Sweet Spring Time (pp 4-5) Steve Englehaty states:
“When the puritans came to North America, they regarded the celebration of Easter – and the celebration of Christmas with suspicion. They knew that pagans had celebrated the return of spring long before Christians celebrated Easter. (…) For the first 200 years of European life in North America, only a few states – mostly in the South – paid much attention to Easter.
“Not until after the Civil War did Americans begin celebrating this holiday… Easter first became an American tradition in the 1870’s… The original 13 colonies of America began as a Christian nation, with the cry of ‘No king but King Jesus’. The nation did not observe Easter within an entire century of its founding.”
Most people accept traditions as fact because they have been part of our culture for so long. Unfortunately, most of these traditions are dark and gory Satanic rituals.
Trust me, I am just as disgusted as you are (or should be), but the truth must be known.
All holidays are wicked and pagan.
A rabbit that lays eggs? St. Nick will straighten things out! What lesson are we teaching our children here?
Thanks Koyote…
Please tell this crap in June or July. Not when I have family devoted to the entire life of Jesus H. Christ.
Christians have every day under attack. You go celebrate whatever holiday you wish and you will not hear me or read anything to ruin or spoil you and your family’s commencement. But, no, lets slap the crap on Easter and definitely on Christmas.
I guess this is another sight I say bye bye to. I’ve got thick skin but this does it for me. Happy Easter to those that can still handle dung heaped on you while you pray and rejoice on this special occasion of Christ dying for our sins and the sins of the world, knowing that he’s there for everyone that prays. He will come again to judge the living and the dead according to the scriptures.
In Jesus Name I Go In Peace
If you celebrate Christ dying for the sins of mankind on a day most folks, wittingly or not, call “Easter”, and only Christ’s sacrifice, then I really don’t see what you are so concerned about. Just like if you celebrate the birth of Christ on Christmas, and only that, you have nothing to be concerned about. If you truly believe in Christ (see John 3:15), then if you and your family get together on “Easter” or “Christmas” in the name of Christ, you should not be concerned, but on the other hand you should not feel so pissed off if some Christians are concerned, since these bogus “holidays” were created PRECISELY to cause a falling away in the first place.
“Not when I have family devoted to the entire life of Jesus H. Christ.”
Great job, Tom.
The H. turns it into a curse.
“I guess this is another sight I say bye bye to. I’ve got thick skin but this does it for me.”
You’re better off not being here if this is all it takes to make you leave.
All I want to know is… WHO TWISTED YOUR ARM TO MAKE YOU READ THIS ARTICLE???
idiot.
Who ever said this whole denying self and over coming the NWO was gonna be easy? If I remember correctly the Bible says its not gonna be a cake walk.
The Resurrection was three days after the true Passover calculated by the solar calendar, which this year resurrection day would be April 5. What Christians should celebrate is Passover, Jesus celebrated it and we are told in Exodus 12:14 to keep it forever. Not because we have to but out of love in obedience.John 14:15 If your family is dedicated to Jesus they should humble themselves and give up the Traditions of men and doctrines of demons.
Thanks for posting this because it is absolutely true. Christ is meant to be the once-and-for-all Passover Lamb, the ultimate sacrifice for sins of all mankind. Passover is on the 14th day of the first month of the year (in Hebrew, Abib or some say Aviv, but anyway…), which of course on the Hebrew calendar is always on the Sabbath (Friday eve to Saturday eve), and the fact that some Emperor messed with calendars is one reason we do not know what the 14th day is supposed to be (last year it was indeed on Sunday for Passover). Since the Bible commands believers to NOT east and drink to idols, if Christians are going to do “Easter” they need to call it Passover or at least “Resurrection Day,” and have NOTHING to do with “Easter” eggs, rabbits, candy and the pagan like.
When my mother-in-law (who insists on celebrating “Easter” with a family meal…no “Easter” eggs apply) passes on (she is mid-80s), we will then have absolutely nothing to do with “Easter”! And “Christmas” ain’t far behind…Christ was NOT born on December 25! (Some claim he was conceived on that day, but how do you prove it?)
Your The man! some say Jesus Birthday is in september. some even claim 9/11 is the true date.
LOL… I think her husband would disagree.
Same here, DL…. the only non-Resurrection Day trappings will fall by the wayside when my elder mom departs this mortal coil. Useless to attempt to reason or argue with an 80+ yr old Roman Catholic.
He is Risen!
(He is risen, indeed)
I hear ya DL. Now my kids will be doin’ the Easter egg gig, go spend some more money for garbage. Well, at least they do Halloween in the Fall and Easter in the spring, with Christmas in between. I better shut up now or I’ll ruin Halloween and Easter for everyone. Christmas, that’s another conversation.
I commend you DL.
You have done your homework.
The main thing we have to realize is that we are up against demonic satanic dark occultists that rule over us.
In order to fight your enemy you have to study them.
I do not believe in them.
I do not support them in any way.
But if you don’t study their mindsets and beliefs you can’t fight them.
Know your enemies.
We’re in a physical and spiritual war here.
If you don’t know their history.
You are unarmed.
We are still living under the Babylonian debt slavery system.
Agreed flee, mankind’s history throughout the ages and the impact of the arrival of “The Christ” is world changing. If you don’t study history, your in “The Dark Ages”.
VERY VERY WELL SAID.
What is sad is that The enemy Knows Our Bible Better then alot Of Christians.
For one thing the Annuaki are a bunch of invading Asch holds. There is a good side to them. They may be technically far more advanced, but a 30-06 Springfield round will put one in the dust just the same as a human being. Unless they are technically capable of turning off a chemical combustion of the cartridge’s primer and propellant their @SS is GRASS!!!
When push comes to shove and they move out into the open getting our hands on their technology is a top priority. We’ll be dealing with at least a type two civilization if not a type 3. Just a hint of what we may be dealing with. There was at one time a planet where the asteroid belt is today. Civil wars with such civilizations can be devastating to life on a planetary scale. In ages past though there were some of them like one named ENKI who was almost respectable and tried to help and protect us. Their Ruller Annu and the rulling council didn’t like his aiding our ancestors and he esentially go put here with warning not to go home.
Is there a God of the univers and did he send his son to save our sorry arsses? I belive so. Problem is these damn Nephilim (rulling class) of that civilization interfeared with us, and brought a lot of evil here.
Read “The 12th Planet”. – Zechariah Sitchen.
There is a huge hidden history of mankind. Wondrous and breathtaking, as well as horrible and tragic.
Take a good look at Mars Imagery SOL 528 at Dingo Gap. Look at the ruins?
I don’t know Ward. I’m listening but there’s no convincing argument or evidence for your claims. Just sayin’.
And yes, I’ve seen the Mars pics with the face and other “anomalies” but it’s still all conjecture.
How about those alien space crafts on the moon? I’m not tryin’ to give you $hit but there’s more evidence of alien life on the moon than has been discovered on Mars.
Speculaton is FUN!! 🙂 No way to know about anything unless you can walk up and touch it. On the other hand the imagery with ruins in is tantalizing. Heres more of my crazy-making speculation. What if it is our ancient ancestors who had space flight, as in, colonizing the other planets like Mars, What about Saterns Moon Iapitus. Another cool paper is “Moon With a View” – http://www.enterprisemission.com/moon1.htm . 🙂 If you ever get a chance take a look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M0DhIA4p30
Its really hard to say how many of these Annunaki we all have seen or know persnally, or if that race even exists. They are suposed to look just like your average tool fit European. For all we know Zechariah Sitchen was partly wrong at least and WE are the freaking Annunaki decendants. That that is about as far as my really wild fancifull speculation takes me. We still need to clean the NWO’s clock, so its probobly all a bit on the unimportant side of things. I sure enjoy the subject though.
I like the banter Ward. By your posts, I have concluded that your way above the “Al Bundys” of the day, insofar as cognition.
Don’t get me lookin’ at more planets. I’m stuffed, like after a Thanksgiving meal! Yes, I am a “recovering” X-Files fan! We can continue anytime. Peace 😀
This article is all over the place and factually challenged. I would agree that the Christian origin of Easter is obviously false. But, wrapping every god known to man across the globe into Nimrod is way off base. Ra for example, has possible origins rooted much older than Egypt or summer.
“Ishtar is but another name for Semiramis – the wife of Nimrod.”
The Columbia Pictures intro with the woman holding the torch (an Illuminati symbol) and the Statue of Liberty (again, the torch) are both representations of her.
I’ll let you in on a little secret.
I bought a pretty nice telescope.
Since I lived in Vegas.
The skies are very clear at night.
So I would study our moon.
Well… what I discovered on the bottom of the moon just before the darkside of the moon. “Pink Floyd” ha ha.
You will see three pyramid structures.
I wish I had more time and energy to continue here.
To busy working and getting fkd up.
The skies are so clear….and I don’t have ambient light from the city.
I even hooked up my a webcam to the telescope in Vegas and I have realtime footage buried away in storage.
This world is more magical and mystical then you would ever dream.
But that’s just me…. take it as you please.
Great article. Been reading about this subject since I was a boy. Its looking like there is a hidden history of humanity. Seeing what is on the moon and Mars rases even more questions. ARe the Annuaki still existing, and are they still interfrearing with human affairs, and rasing havoc like they did in agest past? That said how far did our ancestors advance technically. How many rises and falls of advanced civilizations has humanity seen?
Have you seen this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptx7bkGCnhM
Interesting article. Thanks for the post, Flee.
You’re welcome.
This is just a doorway for some to do more research.
Hopefully I didn’t offend anyone and passed on more knowledge.
Eventually. .. I’ll get back to my stupid jokes and let the serious stuff rest.
I’m going into timeout now.
🙂
I wouldn’t get too upset about this. (don’t toss the colored eggs just yet — the kids like that stuff)
There have been a thousand crazy religions and cults throughout human history, and a lot of them are centered around, or take place near, astronomical events, like the winter solstice, vernal equinox, etc.
Because of this, your Christian holidays may coincide with pagan ones, and one reason for this is that Christian missionaries, who were working to spread the word of Christ, regularly used holidays that pagans were already celebrating to help spread the Word.
That’s how Christmas got mixed up with Santa, and Easter got tied to all kinds of rituals because the entire human race celebrates the first day of spring (and longest night of the year), regardless of their religion.
The cool thing about the Christian traditions is that Santa Clause actually was a man in Eastern Europe who had a habit of giving gifts to children who were poor. He may have lived hundreds of years ago, but the spirit of how he lived his life is an inspiration. Also it could be that God may not care how we say our prayers, so long as we say them, and honor the sacrifice his son made for our sorry sinful carcasses. 🙂 I’m not giving up my Christmas tree or Easter eggs. 🙂 too fun making them and fun for the children to go find. I do make sure they know why we celibate these holy days and why it is important. Point well taken. Its the thought that counts.
I thought the Martians moved to the moon. There’s a reason why man hasn’t been back in decades. I’ll shut up now.
i really don get it.
why follow a jewish invention of christianity which was only created on the pillars of the original european cultures as to be able to control and dominate and to decimate the true culture of european folk with the inquisition.
sure christ may have been born and may have been a good man, but it was the ROMANS who elevated his MYTH to godly status, it was not christ who did that and to see him as such is an insult to christ, but i guess you would not know better.
this whole demonisation of paganism and older cultures is just stupid, if you wanna believe in christ, do so, his-story is nice to believe in, and if it give you strength and courage it is even better, but please refrain from bashing other cultures as if they are lesser.
btw satanism only came as reaction to christianity because of the inquisition and was also a creation of the ROMAN JEW Katholic church.
so please if christ brought forth those institutions and followers look at what HE has done to the world ?
if he was ALMIGHTY he would know the division it would create
and he would not have done it for the LOVE OF GOD.
he was a man, one with a vision, but hell you “christians” don΅t even know he did not want to be elevated to godly status.
please follow the man if you will, not the invented “god”, because that is just a ploy to RULE YOU !
i am really sorry to have to react like this,
but “christians” have KILLED the true European nature and your forefathers ! and you PRAISE IT AS IF IT IS A GOOD THING !
walk your own path, follow christs lead if you will, be a christian ? that is nothing more than a murdering (direct or indirect) piece of self righteous scum that ignores the flaws of their perfect (invented) god…
if he died for our sins, then why bother being pissed at the shit that wants to enslave us, they have been re-leaved of their sins by christ !
You, Sir, are quite ignorant and misled. You obviously know nothing of the truth about Jesus Christ. I pray for you that your eyes will be opened.
Wow, i have known for a long time that all the Holidays are from ritualistic Gods. This last yr was the first time i guess it all came into play. for me we always celebrated the Holidays, and when i learned the truth, it changed a little. I think its fine to say Merry Christmas in a secular meaning as in happy day. I bought gifts . I dont know when Christ was born, but thats the time of yr i celebrate at the same time celebrated Him daily. Today is Good Frid by customs, i say Have a nice Easter now if it arises, so to me its still a wknd the Lord was Crucified. So, ive simplified it in my simple brain, i wont participate in any more of them and i dont tell people the truth because they dont want to hear it, they arent ready like i wasnt most of my life. Ill leave it all up to the Lord when we have to meet him for judgement. For people like above who refuse to believe, i just pray for them. Have a great day all, and thank you for the post.
you can believe in government just the same….
christianity has been government in europe in the past with millions of deaths but who cares about killing of cultures, why BDS israel ?
christianity has done it’s part in europe just the same as in other parts of the world, ask any native american.
i pray for those who call themself christians because of the BLOOD that has been spilled BY THAT BANNER !
pray not for me or others who rather know than believe in some roman myth of conquest, maybe you should read Sun Tsu and apply that to religion.
track back why europeans went to the west, because it was GREED and CONQUEST, ESCAPE from Christian prosecution,
again christ may have been a good guy with good ideas and a vision, but that does not make him GOD because that is what the Roman church made him, he was a son of god like we are all children of god, he elevated us all, not just himself !
READ His words, believe them or know them, that is your choice,
if you come to god or christ in death, LOOK him or Them in the eyes and say, i am what i have done, I have no regrets.
“Why BDS Israel?” That’s all I needed to hear, Troll!
Yep… troll.
I still pray for his eyes to be opened, because:
” The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9
Those of you who consider yourselves “Christian” and who still engage in activities that are pagan in origin, please consider the Gospel of Mark, Chapter 5:1-20… Here’s an excerpt:
“11Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. 12And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. 13And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.”
You are welcoming those same unclean spirits to all your festivities, as that was the original purpose of those pagan festivities.
Ephesians 6:12 “12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
@millard,
never heard of retoric questions ?
who wrote the bible ?
christ ? don think so.
god ? nope he gave us stone tablets.
so who did ?
and would you believe those over your feelings for christ ?
“btw satanism only came as reaction to christianity because of the inquisition…”
You’re OBVIOUSLY an IDIOT to make such a BLATANTLY STUPID STATEMENT!
Satan worship (in the form of Baal, Moloch, Remphan, etc. etc. etc.) predates Christ by CENTURIES, moron!
So you’re either an idiot, or a troll as Millard said.
I’ve heard of rhetorical questions, but your anti-Christ and Christian rant says one thing, then you ask, “Why BDS Israel?” I get it, your anti-religion. I do not follow any man-made doctrine and my spirituality is a personal thing. I believe Jesus did walk on this earth but his teachings, have been twisted and perverted in the “interpretation” of the word.
Getting back to Israel, why not BDS Israel?
i am not anti christ, again, i endorse it if it gives you courage and strength, guess you missed that part, and i do endorse BDS israel, i do not endorse a book written and and edited by those who gave you israel !
satanism back then was not satanism, nor was it as it is done today.
like followers of christ back then don’t look like christians today.
those entities had their own religions, you tend to simplify satanism to your needs.
but i could be an idiot in that regard, you if you tend to follow millard in his troll idea, tend to forget that those who were in power back then are those in power now and that they were the ones who gave you the bible in the first place so why trust that damned book.
trust your feelings for christ, not the false words of a book that was written to accept government, the same government that supposedly KILLED CHRIST !
was it not the romans who crucified him and was it not the romans who brought you that bible you hold dear ?
is that bible not an idol ?
please call me an idiot or a troll, but christ did not die for the (willful) ignorance that create SINS !
you find out who wrote and edited the bible and be honest about it if whether you want to believe the origins of what we have now that is called the bible.
oh sure i would trust child molesting institutions and killing machines for greed !
if you have a chance in life to go to europe, (where i am from) you would see churches with skull and cross bones “322” inscriptions and the likes, please tell me i should trust their editing !
