Easter greater or Christmas??

I'm not a Christian anymore and havent been for a long time BUT since both those holidays are originally Pagan, which is what I am, I do celebrate the originals....That said I would have to say that I actually prefer Ostara/Easter over Yule/Xmas...I think though it is mainly because I love to watch the world wake up during spring time etc...the days are longer, the earth is waking up the birds are coming back etc.... I've never been much of a Christmas person to be perfectly honest with you..

Hi there! Well, you do have a point there. But I think Christmas is more celebrated because the birth of Christ is where it all started. Without Him, there is nothing to celebrate about.

Get a good encyclopedia and see for yourself that these two holidays have there roots in rank Paganism, they are not TRUE Biblical "Holy Days". As usual, the TRUE "Holy Days" or FEAST Days declared by God, have been tossed out the window for man-made traditional holidays.

Because Christians have been brainwashed. Before the Council of Nicea there were many christian sects. Rome became the most dominate because it also had the strongest military arm. Under Constantine, and later Roman Emperors, the church of Rome went on a crusade against all other Christian sects, massacering tens of thousands of other Christians like the Coptic's, Gnostic's and others. Rome decided to rewrite the scriptures and doctrines, they took there own pagan doctrine of their solar Messiah (which Constantine was a Sun worshiper) and made it apply to Jesus. Thus changing the Sabbath to Sunday as the day of worship and changed the Birth of Jesus to December. This also made it possible to create Mary as the Mother of God or Queen of heaven, And change the Passover to the festival of Ishtar. Ishtar being the eastern pronunciation of Easter. Ishtar was the mother Goddess and the Queen of heaven of Mesopotamian cultures. Her son Tammuz was killed and his body torn apart and the pieces of his body were spread though the land. She searched for his body for forty days. When she found all the body parts She had him resurrected. So this is where The church of Rome got Easter, They substituted it in-place of the original Holy Day Pass Over. This is why we have lent forty days prior. We are to fast and give things up for lint as a mourning or weeping of Tammuz, or the roman Bacchus. They (Easter and Christmas) are both from ancient past and have nothing to do with Christianity or Judaism.

HI Friend, I am not christian but have some friend who belong to this religion. I think this just the matter of hype. There is no hype about this festival, no on talks about it and there is no media role in it. While on christmas People creat hype months before it...

U r talking about "catholic" or "Protestant", but if you go to Orthodoxy you will find that Christmas is celebrated, and when it comes to Easter we fast before it 55 days (not as Christmas 43 days only) and we celebrate the Resurrection more happier than the Christmas not because it is more important but as St.Paul has said in 1 Corinthians 15:14 "And if Christ is not risen,then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty" So for that, Orthodoxy (especially in Coptic Orthodox in the whole world) we call that feast "great feast"
