If you are NOT Christian, do you celebrate Easter in any way?

Not religous, Christian or otherwise. We celebrate a secular Easter for the kids...

Interesting topic. but i'm not religious. To me it's good chance to have a long holiday. I can go out with my family and friends. Blossom

I came from a Christian background and upbringing, but some years ago, turned to the pagan/wiccan path. I've not totally turned my back away from some Christian ideals, so yes do celebrate Easter (as well as Christmas)---I do so since usually Easter comes close to the Spring Equinox celebration of Ostara, and also gives me a good excuse to fix up a special dinner that I normally wouldn't fix otherwise

I'm not religious at all, and I still celebrate easter. It's sort of an excuse for a big dinner. I also colour eggs and get an easter basket full of chocolate and candy. And I'll probably bake cup cakes this year. I don't see it as a religious holiday at all, even though it is. But it's just a fun time of year of me.

yes I celebrate Easter but I dont focus on the Jesus aspect of it even though I am pagan my hubby is Christian and right now the kids are going to Christian church so I am happy to explain the jesus stuff to the kids but I also explain other aspects as well I do the same for ALL holidays!

I do not celebrate EASTER . But i remember JESUS christ who sufferred for us on the cross. I am HINDU by birth. I believe that religions are different paths to a single GOD.

I do celebrate Easter but I'm not an actual Christian, I don't really celebrate it for the traditional Christian reasons (Unfortunately I can't go into much detail on a public site, sorry). I do like all the 'Christian' times of year, Easter and Christmas specifically, I just like to enjoy time with family at those times of year, I see it as more of a celebration of family rather than anything else.

i do know the significance of easter and i have passed on that knowledge to my friends and they do celebrate or rather participate with me in my celebrations.(they do like the goodies,like,easter eggs)

I'm not Christian but have lived in the UK since birth. We get Good Friday and Easter Monday off here as bank holidays so it's a 4 day break from work generally for those who work Monday to Friday. I don't specifically do anything to celebrate Easter, although I do give Easter Eggs to my little brother, erm, even though he's now 37 and to my friends' kids too (they're actually kids LOL). Regardless of the religious aspect of it, for me it's like Christmas, a time to make children smile and a time to try to be nicer to everyone :)

I am not Christian....was raised Catholic but don't follow it. Our family celebrates it by gathering for dinner and that's about it. I used to make easter baskets but can't afford that anymore. After diner, I go to work and everyone else goes their own way. It isn't a big holiday for us...an excuse to get together pretty much. Actually the dinner part is a carryover from mine and my brother's upbringings. We haven't done the church thing in years.

I know these festivals. To be honest, we don't celebrate them! Well, Chrimstmas day also has something to do with Mr God! It is no doubt that we celebrate it as well as you guys do!

Easter has always been for me, a time of rebirth.........the earth and all the life it supports, and of course the 'rebirth' of my attitude towards my world and all it contains. I celebrate the spring more than the 'holiday'..........

I celebrate Easter as humans have always done, basking in the earth's renewal and the reminder that all life continues, energy only changes form it cannot disappear.

I celebrate Spring. I do reflect and remember. Just differently. We also have dinner with family to allow for their faith. We do so with love and respect and a different sort of reflection.

I have a friend who is jewish, they do the "fun" Easter bunny stuff, but that's it. Since we are, we do the traditional dinner, Easter baskets and egg hunt.

hmmmmmmmm..........i find this story of yours quite fascinating. i always thought Easter was a celebration of the shift in the Earth's axis which causes bunnies to lay colored eggs and in some mysterious way produce chocolate candy and malt balls. you sure about this religious spin on the whole thing.

I was just making a joke about it about the Easter Bunny nothing to do with the the people beleive's about the the church's [Don't get so serious] I do celebrate Easter as well and go to church to!! cd

Yes I do celebrate Easter I know it is a special holiday for [Passover] or any other Christian reglious.. I do respect it. cd
