Easter: From Babylon, Papacy to our Age

Easter eggs which play a great part in this day’s celebration were common in all heathen nations.  The fable of the egg declares that ‘an egg of wondrous size fell from heaven into the river Euphrates; the fish rolled it to the bank, where doves settled upon it and hatched it; and out came Astarte, or Ishtar, the goddess of Easter’.  Easter, Christmas, Lady Day, Lent and other Babylonian festivals were all borrowed from this religion and were all observed centuries before Christ...
