The celebration of Easter is not to commemorate an event which took place two thousand years ago, but to reveal a principle; so that when we face a world filled with wickedness in high places, whether they be high spiritual places, high political places, or high commercial places, we can know the impotence of human scheming, human planning, human ambition, evil, degradation, and iniquity. We can stand fast in the faith that God, Itself, is our power, God, Itself, is our presence. It makes no difference what religious holidays we celebrate if we do not take from them the principle that they show forth. For us, the principle is all. Joel Goldsmith The Easter of our Lives

Easter is nothing more than a christian translation of the pagan sabbat Oestara, which represents the spring equinox on March 21st.
Easter... Oestara... the resemblance between them is not a coincidence, nor is their relative proximity to each other on the calendar.
The same is true of Christmas, which was stolen from the pagan sabbat Yule, the winter solstice.
They tried to steal Halloween too - which is known as Samhain, turning it into "all hallows eve", which is where the name for Halloween comes from. Luckily the real occasion still takes place on the same day.
Yes, I know all of this. the above re- easter is speaking of the inner. A rsing out of mortal consciousness into immortality.
