Easter - Almost Here

Okay, let's just say it.

Easter is a pagan festival, it isn't really about Jesus.

Today, we see a secular society celebrating the spring equinox, while religious folks celebrate the resurrection. 

However, early Christianity made a decision to accept the ancient pagan celebration known today as Easter, that's what we have today.

The general symbolic story of the death of the son (sun) on a cross (the constellation of the Southern Cross, the Winter Solstice ) and the rebirth, overcoming the powers of darkness, was a story in the ancient world. 

What is interesting to note here is that in the old world, wherever you had popular resurrected god myths, Christianity found lots of converts. So, eventually Christianity came to accept the pagan Spring festival. 

Although we see no celebration of Easter mentioned in the New Testament, early church fathers celebrated it, and today many churches are offering "sunrise services" at Easter which is an obvious pagan solar celebration. 

The date of Easter is not fixed, but instead is governed by the phases of the moon – how pagan is that?

All the fun things about Easter are pagan. Bunnies are a leftover from the pagan festival of Eostre, a great northern goddess whose symbol was a rabbit or hare. 

Exchange of eggs is an ancient custom, celebrated by many cultures. 

Easter is essentially a pagan festival which is now celebrated with cards, gifts and novelty Easter products, because it's fun and the ancient symbolism is still popular.

What better way to celebrate, than to bite the head off the chocolate bunny goddess, or helping yourself to a piece of pagan simnel cake? 

Happy Easter everyone!

The Allegory

The story of the Last Supper may not be as simple as it might seem.

Actually, it’s an Astronomical allegory foretelling the sun’s pending death at the winter solstice. 

The Last Supper story found in the Bible comes from an ancient Pagan ritual celebrating the harvest, illustrated in an astrological allegory. 

Christianity is based on the (son) sun worshiping of the Hebrews and the Bible stories are simply a collection of Astrological allegory. 

Jesus became the sun God that was personified.

The birth of Jesus and his death marked the end of the age of Aries, the ram (2160 BCE-1BCE), and the beginning of the age of Pisces the fish (1 BCE-2160CE, that occurred around 2000 years ago. 

In the last supper astronomical allegory, Jesus (the sun) gathered his 12 disciples (the 12 signs of the Zodiac) to prepare for the Saviors (Sun) pending death (the winter solstice) AND Jesus's (sun's) rebirth 3 day’s later on December 25th (the time when the sun appears to start it's northerly track). 

In most sun worshiping beliefs, common at the time, the sun (God) was believed to have died on or about the 22nd of December, at the winter solstice, and was reborn 3 day’s later on December 25th, when the sun began it’s northern movement on the horizon and the day’s began to get longer and longer. 

In the last supper story, Jesus, the sun personified, told of pending betrayal by one of his disciples (one of the 12 signs of the zodiac). 

The betrayer was Judas who was personified by Scorpio (the Scorpion). When the sun (Jesus) was in the house of Scorpio (Judas), the scorpion betrayed Jesus (the sun) with a kiss (a sting). 

The sun (Jesus) died an agonizing death, was stabbed by the Sagittarius spear on the cross, was placed into a cave tomb, and was raised from the dead 3 day’s later. 

The last supper was the astronomical allegory foretelling astronomical events. In the Leonard Davinci painting "the last supper", you can see that the apostles are gathered in 4 sets of 3 figures each, with Jesus at the center. 

The 12 figures represent the 12 signs of the zodiac and them being gathered in 4 sets represent the 4 seasons, winter, spring, summer and fall. 

Jesus is the sun at the center. 

Davinci’s painting is an astrological allegory as well.

Of course, there are those who believe this allegory connection to Jesus is false. You can decide for yourself.

Jesus in Japan, Who Knew?

There seems to be an effort to rebrand or reintroduce Jesus these days, we thought we would help out, introducing another narrative found in Japan.

Ok, the story goes like this: in a small village, called Shingo in the north of Japan is where Jesus Christ lived and eventually died, leaving behind his descendants.

According to the story, Jesus travelled to Japan at the age of 21 to study theology, spent 12 years in the country during a period that's not written about in the New Testament.

After returning to Jerusalem, and getting into trouble with the Romans, he somehow convinced his younger brother Isukiri to face the trial and crucifixion. 

As Jesus skips town, no one notices it’s a different person and his younger brother dies on the cross instead. 

Jesus then fled back to Japan, which involved a four year journey spanning 6,000 miles.

He became known as Daitenku Taro Jurai to locals, and lived in Shingo in exile, growing garlic.

Jesus fell in love with a farmer's daughter called Miyuko, and they married and had three children.

He is believed to have died in the village at the age of 106.
