Happy Easter Deny Ignorance

[Sirius]

I shouldn't have started it, but okay.

It's as connected in spring (and pastel themes) as Christmas is to Yule (and snow themes). In the transculturation sorta way.

You have festival of Hilaria (ancient Rome Equinox) called "Festival of Blood." Which actually was about resurrection. That's the one early Byzantine downplayed for the passion.

The Jesus > Equinox element is there.

But everything more current is German. The Hare. The eggs, the connection to spring and fertility.

It's an amalgam of et al.

In the same way Yule, Christmas, Saturnalia, and Sol Invictus are all sorta transculturated now.

That's what I was getting. And the bunny says I like the current German/Christian version!

yes. amalgamations, different cultures combining and growing. elements can be shared, days overlap
