00:00:01If you've heard about Easter your whole life, you probably even think you know what

00:00:05Easter is all about.

00:00:06After all, you've seen the rabbits and the eggs and the crosses every single year.

00:00:12But here's the hard question, are those traditions actually rooted in the Bible?

00:00:16Or did they come from somewhere else entirely?

00:00:19In this teaching, we confront the uncomfortable questions that many believers have never been

00:00:24asked to consider.

00:00:26Not to attack the faith, but to purify it.

00:00:29But if you care about honoring God with truth instead of tradition, then stay with us.

00:00:35Because what you're about to learn may change the way you look at Easter forever.

00:00:58So this teaching is all about Easter and specifically the overall view that Easter, as we know it's a day,

00:01:07is a painting over of the resurrection.

00:01:38Don't understand what I'm talking about?

00:01:39At GodHonestTruth.com, click on the post for this particular episode.

00:01:43And there you'll be able to find the on demand video.

00:01:46You'll find the draw slides as well as some research papers into the history and facts and evidence

00:01:53surrounding Easter and the notes that we personally took for this particular subject.

00:01:58It's all right there on www.GodHonestTruth.com.

00:02:02And even better, we have placed a convenient link for you down below in the description.

00:02:08And you should be able to find that whether you're on a video platform or an audio podcasting platform.

00:02:13It should still be down there all the same.

00:02:15Just click on that link in the description and that'll take you directly to the article post where you've got

00:02:20the on demand video, the notes, all that good stuff.

00:02:23So usually we start out with some foundational stuff on a topic as far as dictionary entries, as far as

00:02:32lexicon entries and things like that.

00:02:36And that's how we usually start with the foundation of a teaching.

00:02:39So, you know, the words, you know, the concepts, stuff like that.

00:02:42Everyone's pretty familiar with this particular subject and all the most of the concepts that are involved with it.

00:02:48So we decided to change this up just a little bit.

00:02:51And we're going to start with the what we think the very basis of this actually was.

00:02:57And that is going to be the root or remembrance.

00:03:00And this comes straight from Scripture.

00:03:02Tonight, we're going to start out straight from Scripture.

00:03:05And just go ahead and dive headfirst right in.

00:03:09Let's do it.

00:03:10Looking at Luke, chapter 2, verses 40 through 41.

00:03:14And Yeshua grew and became strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the favor of Elohim was upon him.

00:03:19And his parents went to Yerushalayim every year at the festival of the Pesach.

00:03:25So that is Luke, chapter 2, verses 40 through 41.

00:03:27And there's many instances and evidence to show that Yeshua, our Messiah, kept Passover.

00:03:34And they did this, it says here, every year at the festival of Pesach.

00:03:38Then we look in John, chapter 2, verses 13 through 14 and verse 23.

00:03:43And the Pesach, or Pesach, as they say in Greek, of the Yehudim was near.

00:03:48And Yeshua went up to Yerushalayim, and he found in the set-apart place those selling oxen and sheep and

00:03:54doves and the money changers sitting.

00:03:56And when he was in Yerushalayim at the Pesach, or Pesach, at the festival, many believed in his name when

00:04:03they saw the signs which he was doing.

00:04:06So, all throughout Yeshua's life, you can see Pesach, or Pesach, or Passover going on.

00:04:13And you find this all throughout the Brit Hadashah, or the AKA New Testament.

00:04:18We go on and look at Luke, chapter 22, verses 7 through 13.

00:04:23And the day of unleavened bread came, when the Pesach, or Pesach, had to be slaughtered.

00:04:29And he sent Kepha and Yohanan, saying,

00:04:31Yohanan prepared the Pesach for us to eat.

00:04:33And they said to him, Where do you wish us to prepare?

00:04:36And he said to them, See, as you enter into the city, a man shall meet you carrying a jar

00:04:42of water.

00:04:43Follow him into the house he enters, and you shall say to the master of the house,

00:04:47The teacher says to you, Where is the guest room where I might eat the Pesach with my taught ones?

00:04:53And he shall show you a large furnished upper room.

00:04:57Prepare it there.

00:04:58And going, they found it as he had said to them, and they prepared the Pesach.

00:05:04So, when Yeshua was young and he was growing up,

00:05:07they constantly celebrated and observed the Pesach, or the Pesach.

00:05:11When he was an adult, he taught his disciples to do the same thing.

00:05:14There's a couple instances here in the Berk HaDashah where we actually see Yeshua telling his disciples to go

00:05:20and prepare the Pesach for them to eat.

00:05:23And this is going to be important coming up in just a minute, so make sure to remember that.

00:05:28Make sure you have your notes ready.

00:05:30Now let's look at Luke chapter 22, verses 14 through 20.

00:05:35And when the hour had come, he sat down and the twelve emissaries with him,

00:05:39and he said to them, With desire, I have desire to eat this Pesach with you before my suffering.

00:05:46For I say to you, I shall certainly not eat of it again until it is filled in the reign

00:05:51of Elohim.

00:05:52And taking the cup, giving thanks, he said, Take this and divide it among yourselves.

00:05:56For I say to you, I shall certainly not drink of the fruit of the vine until the reign of

00:06:01Elohim comes.

00:06:02And taking bread, giving thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying,

00:06:07This is my body, which is given for you.

00:06:10Do this in remembrance of me.

00:06:13Likewise, the cup also, after supper, saying,

00:06:16This cup is the renewed covenant in my blood, which is shed for you.

00:06:21So notice something very important.

00:06:23We just read in the verses leading up to these verses that Yeshua told his disciples to go and prepare

00:06:29the Pascha, the Passover meal.

00:06:32So they do that.

00:06:33They go and find the room that he told them, and they prepare the Passover meal.

00:06:36And this is what they are eating in this particular section of verses.

00:06:41They're eating the Pascha, the Passover meal.

00:06:45And Yeshua even calls it that.

00:06:47He says, I have desire to eat this Pascha with you before my suffering.

00:06:52For I say to you, I shall certainly not eat of it again until it is filled in the reign

00:06:56of Elohim.

00:06:57So Yeshua is not going to be able to, or does it look like from this passage,

00:07:02he's not going to be able to take part in the Pascha until the end times and he returns.

00:07:07But the biggest thing I want you to take away from this particular passage is it says down below that,

00:07:13it says, Do this in remembrance of me.

00:07:15Now, what does this mean when Yeshua says that in the context of this passage?

00:07:22Well, if you want to get very specific, you might be able to make a case for the bread,

00:07:26because it just says right before that, they took the bread, gave it to them, and said,

00:07:31Do this in remembrance of me.

00:07:32But I think in the grander context, he's actually referring to the Pesach or Pascha meal that they're doing here.

00:07:39It says, Do this in remembrance of me.

00:07:42Now, why would he tell the disciples in the world and us and everyone else to remember and do the

00:07:47Pascha in remembrance of him?

00:07:50Well, it's because he was the Passover lamb.

00:07:53He was the Passover sacrifice for our sins.

00:07:57He was sacrificed on Passover for us.

00:08:02It all lines up.

00:08:03The Passover meal, the Pascha meal, and Yeshua's sacrifice.

00:08:07It was foreshadowing before Yeshua came.

00:08:10It was fulfilled in Yeshua.

00:08:12And now we remember Pascha because of the exodus from Egypt and also Yeshua's sacrifice.

00:08:18What he's saying, Do this Pascha in remembrance of me.

00:08:21Now we know why he's telling us to do that.

00:08:24Then we go on and we look in Acts chapter 12, verses 1 through 4, and it says,

00:08:30And about that time Herodes, or Herod, the sovereign, put forth his hand to do evil to some of the

00:08:35assembly.

00:08:35And seeing that it was pleasing to the Yehudim, he proceeded further to arrest Kepha as well.

00:08:40And they were the days of unleavened bread.

00:08:43So when he had seized him, he put him in prison and delivered him to the four squads of soldiers

00:08:47to watch over him,

00:08:49intending to bring him before the people after Pascha.

00:08:54Now as we looked at last week in our Pesach teaching, here in this verse 4 of Acts 12,

00:09:01the King James makes a mistake and calls it Easter.

00:09:04But we know that is anachronistic.

00:09:06I mean, it'd be like looking at the plays of Shakespeare and finding references to Facebook in AI-generated photos.

00:09:15It would make no sense because there wasn't a thing back then.

00:09:19And just like finding internet slang in the works of Shakespeare, you also, if you know what you're doing,

00:09:27you don't have any education at all, you'd also know that you wouldn't find the word Easter

00:09:30or celebration of Easter in the Bible either because that would be anachronistic.

00:09:36It comes way, way later, which we'll show you as we go through this particular one.

00:09:40But just let it be known at this time, there was no such thing as Easter, especially not in the

00:09:47assembly of the faithful.

00:09:49But also take note that they're referencing Passover or Pascha.

00:09:55And these events here in Acts 12 actually happened about 44 of the Common Era.

00:10:01This is about 13 years after the death, burial, and resurrection and ascension of Yeshua.

00:10:07Why is that important to know?

00:10:08Well, because some people within mainstream churchianity say that the law was done away with on the cross.

00:10:18It was nailed to the cross and done away with.

00:10:21They would put things like Passover, Pascha, in with the law that was nailed and done away with.

00:10:28However, we can still see here in Acts chapter 12 that they were still celebrating Pascha even 13 years and

00:10:36beyond

00:10:37after the death, burial, and resurrection and ascension of Yeshua.

00:10:42So it's further evidence that the law and the feast days were not done away with.

00:10:48Now you may be saying, okay, I get what you're trying to say,

00:10:51but they were just referencing the Jews and what the Jews were doing here at this time.

00:10:56Okay, I get what you're saying from this passage, and a case could be made for that.

00:11:00I understand.

00:11:01As we go through the rest of this information, you'll see that even the faithful, not the Jews,

00:11:06but those of us who are actually accepting of the true Messiah,

00:11:10they were still practicing Pascha even after this and into the early formative years of, quote-unquote, the church.

00:11:19Stay tuned for that coming up.

00:11:21But anyways, moving on.

00:11:23We look at 1 Corinthians chapter 5, verses 6 through 8.

00:11:26Your boasting is not good.

00:11:28Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the entire lump?

00:11:31Therefore, cleanse out the old leaven so that you are a new lump as you are unleavened.

00:11:36For also Messiah, our Pesach, was slaughtered for us.

00:11:39So then let us celebrate the festival not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of evil and wickedness,

00:11:45but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

00:11:49Now, what is Paul referring to here when he rides to the church at Corinth?

00:11:53Well, those of us who have done any kind of study or education in Easter or Passover,

00:11:59we know that he's referencing Pascha.

00:12:04It's obvious from the terminology that's being used.

00:12:08And he also says that Messiah was our Pascha for us, for our sins.

00:12:15So it's obvious when he says to let us celebrate the festival, the festival he is referring to is Pascha.

00:12:23Paul, the Apostle Paul, the one that mainstream churchianity points to,

00:12:27to say that he was against the law.

00:12:31That Paul is telling us in 1 Corinthians to celebrate the festival.

00:12:37More evidence that the law and the feast days were not nailed to the cross and done away with.

00:12:43Now, here's another thing.

00:12:45I'll look this up, and this is actually written about 23 years after the death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of

00:12:52Yeshua.

00:12:53So again, further evidence that those within the Brit Hadashah still continued with the Torah,

00:13:00the feast days, the Mu'adim, etc., etc.

00:13:02So put that down in your notes for further reference.

00:13:07Now, also think about it like this.

00:13:08When Paul writes to the Corinthians here in 1 Corinthians 5,

00:13:12and he writes this, these references,

00:13:17that doesn't specifically say in each individual reference that's about Passover,

00:13:21but we know that because we have studied it,

00:13:23and we have celebrated Passover, Pascha,

00:13:26and it just comes naturally to us.

00:13:29Well, if he did not think that those in Corinth would be of the same mindset or the same habits,

00:13:37then it would make no sense to write that to them because they wouldn't understand what he was writing.

00:13:42They would have to be a group that would be educated on Pascha,

00:13:47who would be celebrating, who would know about Pascha in order for this letter in this particular passage to make

00:13:53any sense at all to them.

00:13:55Now, if Paul wrote this letter right now to a Baptist church in modern-day Southeast America,

00:14:04they might scratch their heads and be like, what?

00:14:06What are you talking about?

00:14:07Because they don't know the Tanakh.

00:14:10They don't know the Torah because they think it's all done away with.

00:14:14But the people in Corinth, back during the apostolic times, back during the time of the Brit Hadashah,

00:14:19they were still keeping these feast days, these Moedim, so when these references come up,

00:14:24it automatically clicks in their mind, and they understand what Paul is trying to tell them.

00:14:29There's some things to take away from this.

00:14:31Number one, Yeshua is our Passover lamb.

00:14:34That's going to be more important than you may be thinking right now, so just stay with me on this.

00:14:39Yeshua commanded that we observe the Passover in remembrance of him.

00:14:43Remember when we read that passage where he says, do this in remembrance of me?

00:14:46In the context, the context is them eating a Pascha meal.

00:14:53Believers in the Brit Hadashah continued to commemorate and observe Passover.

00:14:58This is just obvious from all the evidence that we have and the evidence that we'll see coming up

00:15:03in the formative years of the quote-unquote church.

00:15:07And there was no new observance of Yeshua's resurrection that was commanded, created, or observed in the Brit Hadashah.

00:15:14You look all throughout the Brit Hadashah, you'll never see them ever doing some kind of yearly, daily, weekly, whatever,

00:15:24commemoration of Yeshua's resurrection.

00:15:27That's what Easter's supposed to be about, but you don't find any commemoration, any kind of meal, or gathering,

00:15:35submarine, or even somebody writing down on a calendar the day of the year when the resurrection was supposed to

00:15:42happen.

00:15:43Back during that time, you don't find that in the Brit Hadashah.

00:15:45No, you find zero observance of the resurrection in the Brit Hadashah.

00:15:51Now, does that make it wrong?

00:15:52Not necessarily.

00:15:53It could be a tradition that you come up with, but don't think that everyone should do it, or think

00:15:59like you.

00:16:00So, moral disagreements coming up.

00:16:02There's some very interesting stuff about disagreements that we can learn from in some of the early church writings.

00:16:09You'll see that coming up in just a minute, too.

00:16:11But the timing of the resurrection, also, when you read through the scriptures,

00:16:15the timing of the resurrection was always foretold in scripture by the number of days that elapsed after the death

00:16:24of Yeshua.

00:16:25It wasn't any particular day of the week it was pointing to.

00:16:28Think about this.

00:16:29When Yeshua is talking, he says that only the sign of Jonah would be given to this wicked and adulterous

00:16:35generation.

00:16:35What is he referring to?

00:16:36That Jonah spent three days and three nights in the belly of the whale.

00:16:39He also specifically said that the Son of Man would spend three days and three nights in the heart of

00:16:45the earth.

00:16:46Then it says, on the third day, he rose again.

00:16:51Of course, I'm paraphrasing this time.

00:16:52But you know, every single time you read about this, it's always referencing the number of days after the crucifixion,

00:17:00after he died.

00:17:02And never once says that, oh, the Son of Man has to be scourged and crucified and raised again on

00:17:10the first day of the week.

00:17:10No, it doesn't say that.

00:17:13It never says, oh, well, the Son of Man has to be scourged and crucified and buried and risen on

00:17:20the fifth day of the week.

00:17:21No.

00:17:22It says three days and three nights after the death.

00:17:27That's the point that comes across every single reference you see in the Brut HaDashat.

00:17:33So take that into your notes as well and remember that, that when it comes to the Brut HaDashat and

00:17:39the resurrection, the reference is to the number of days elapsed, not the specific day of the week.

00:17:44That is the important part.

00:17:46So as we go through the Brut HaDashat and we look, we see evidence that Yeshua and the disciples and

00:17:52the early believers in the Brut HaDashat continued on with the celebration of Pascha.

00:17:57And then we get on into the early years or the formative years of the quote unquote church and things

00:18:03starts being added a little bit by a time at a time and then goes off into different tangents.

00:18:10And eventually some things don't make it and other things get brought in who that override other things.

00:18:17You'll see all that as we go through this as well.

00:18:19But in the early formative years, a lot of people still kept the 14th of Nisan, the first 14th of

00:18:27the first month.

00:18:28And other people also kept the Sunday for the celebration of the resurrection.

00:18:37But it was a very small minority in the beginning.

00:18:43Eventually it grew, but in the beginning it was very isolated.

00:18:47It was only a very small minority.

00:18:49We look at various references to this, such as the Council of Nasea ruling on Easter Day in 325 from

00:18:56Christianity.com.

00:18:58It says here, quote,

00:19:00From its earliest days, the church annually celebrated the anniversary of Jesus's resurrection, often calling the holiday the Christian Passover

00:19:07or Pascha or Pask as it's sometimes called, I think, in Latin even.

00:19:13And for the most part, it's pretty much true because the early believers did keep the Passover.

00:19:22They kept the Pascha.

00:19:24They did not keep Easter because Easter wasn't a thing yet, not for several hundreds of years.

00:19:29But keep that in mind because we're going to work our way up to it.

00:19:33But in the early, early days, the early believers did keep Passover.

00:19:37They kept Pascha.

00:19:41But different things came in, and different thought processes, and egos got in the way, and there was some clash

00:19:49at times with these new customs and the old customs.

00:19:53We look at Polycrates, the bishop of Ephesus, and he writes, quote,

00:20:01Then there is Polycarp, both bishop and martyr at Smyrna, and Thracius from Eumenia, both bishop and martyr who rest

00:20:08at Smyrna.

00:20:09Why should I speak of Sagaris, Papyrus, and Melito, the eunuch?

00:20:14These all kept the Passover on the 14th day of the month in accordance with the gospel without ever deviating

00:20:21from it, but keeping to the rule of faith, end quote.

00:20:26Then he goes on and writes again, Polycrates does.

00:20:29And he says, quote,

00:20:31Moreover, I also, Polycrates, who am the least of you all, in accordance with the tradition of my relatives, some

00:20:37of whom I have succeeded, seven of my relatives were bishops, and I am the eighth, and my relatives always

00:20:43observe the day when the people put away the leaven.

00:20:49Two things to note real quick.

00:20:50They're noting that here, even in the early 2nd century, that the believers are keeping the 14th day of the

00:20:58month to celebrate Passover, Pascha.

00:21:03Nothing new, nothing different.

00:21:05It's the Pascha.

00:21:07And he also says that they observed the day when the people put away the leaven.

00:21:13Notice he says there, the people.

00:21:15He didn't say those Jews, nothing like that.

00:21:18He says the people in general.

00:21:21From this, I take that he's just assuming that that's what believers do.

00:21:26They put away the leaven.

00:21:27Obviously, they should if they're going to be following scripture.

00:21:30But I thought that was interesting to know anyways.

00:21:33So here in the early formative years, the people are keeping, the believers are still keeping Pascha or Passover.

00:21:41And notice this guy, Polycarp, that he mentions up here at the very beginning.

00:21:45Polycarp was actually a disciple of John the Apostle.

00:21:49Not John the Baptist, but John the Apostle.

00:21:51So he was actually trained by one of the people who were taught by Yeshua.

00:21:56He is, I guess you could say, the spiritual grandson of Yeshua.

00:22:01So he's very, very closely connected to the source, as it were, from the horse's mouth.

00:22:07Not to be, you know, mean or belligerent or anything, but yeah, that's how close Polycarp was.

00:22:13And Polycarp was keeping the 14th day of the month.

00:22:17Nothing else, nothing different.

00:22:20And we go on and look at what Tertullian writes.

00:22:23And he says, quote,

00:22:24If it were true that the apostle has erased all devotion absolutely of seasons, days, months, and years,

00:22:29why do we celebrate Pascha by an annual rotation in the first month?

00:22:35End quote.

00:22:35Then Origen writes,

00:22:37We ourselves are accustomed to observe certain days.

00:22:39For example, there is Pascha.

00:22:41He who considers that Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us,

00:22:45and that it is his duty to keep the feast by eating the flesh of the word.

00:22:49He never ceases to keep the Paschal feast.

00:22:52For Pascha means a Passover.

00:22:55So he is ever striving in all his thoughts, words, and deeds

00:22:58to pass over from the things of this life to God.

00:23:02End quote.

00:23:02So Origen is writing here in the middle, about the middle of the 3rd century.

00:23:07And he's still referring to Pascha and believers keeping the Pascha and keeping the Paschal feast.

00:23:16And those who would want to do his duty would never cease to keep the Paschal feast.

00:23:22Start looking into this, and it is absolutely eye-opening.

00:23:27One thing to take note of, if you are going to do your own research,

00:23:30and you start looking at the early church writers,

00:23:32such as Tertullian, Origen, Polycrates, etc., etc.,

00:23:37make sure that you understand what's actually going on.

00:23:40And if you can, try to learn a little bit of Greek, too.

00:23:43Because if you look here, in the translations from Origen and Tertullian and Polycrates that we just looked at,

00:23:50if you looked at a lot of these translations, they'll actually use the word Easter there.

00:23:54But remember, they didn't know about Easter back then.

00:23:58There was no concept of Easter within Christianity at that point.

00:24:01So they definitely did not say Easter when they wrote that,

00:24:05but the translations will translate it as Easter, and that is anachronistic.

00:24:09That is incorrect, and it leads people astray.

00:24:12They think that Easter has actually been from the very beginning, and it hasn't.

00:24:17Pascha was Passover, but not Easter.

00:24:20So what I've done, you can see here, when I quote these,

00:24:22I actually return it back to the Greek, where it says Pascha,

00:24:27and be more accurate than what some of these modern translations actually do.

00:24:31So keep that in mind as you go through these various writings from the early, quote-unquote, church,

00:24:38and know that they don't use the word Easter.

00:24:40They use the word Pascha.

00:24:42And then moving on, we look at the Jewish Encyclopedia, and it says,

00:24:46quote,

00:24:46Under the first 15 bishops of Jerusalem who were all Jews,

00:24:50no difference occurred between the Jewish and the Christian dates, end quote.

00:24:54This is talking about the dates for Pascha.

00:24:57There was no difference between what the believers, the Christians, Messianics observed,

00:25:03and what the Yehudim observed.

00:25:05It was the same thing because they had the same exact Bible,

00:25:09and that Bible says 14th of the first month, period.

00:25:14We look at the Jewish Encyclopedia again, and it says,

00:25:17quote,

00:25:18Greater stress was laid in the Western Church, at least,

00:25:20based on the connection of Easter with the vernal equinox of the sun

00:25:24than with the full moon of the 14th of Nisan.

00:25:27In other words, Easter became a solar date, whereas Passover was essentially lunar, end quote.

00:25:33And for the most part, they're absolutely correct.

00:25:35And this is where it starts diverging off from the way that the Bible says to do it,

00:25:41the way that Yeshua and the disciples said to do it,

00:25:44and it was going on that straight path right there,

00:25:46and then new people came in, and it started diverging a little bit.

00:25:50And one of the things that started diverging was the date on when they should keep Pascha,

00:25:57or the Passover.

00:25:58And from the Catholic Encyclopedia, quote,

00:26:01The Alexandrians, on the other hand, accepted it as a first principle

00:26:04that the Sunday to be kept as Easter Day must necessarily occur after the vernal equinox,

00:26:09then identified with 21 March of the Julian year, end quote.

00:26:14So where do we get this dating for Easter from?

00:26:18Well, we get it from the Alexandrians down in Egypt.

00:26:21What are some other things that also come from Alexandria?

00:26:24We get Platonism.

00:26:26We also get a lot of Gnosticism.

00:26:29And there's a bunch of stuff.

00:26:32Actually, that's the two biggest evil things that you should take note of.

00:26:37Gnosticism and Platonism really did come out mostly from Alexandria, Egypt.

00:26:43It was a big hub, so it kind of makes sense anyways.

00:26:46But there's a bunch of other things.

00:26:49The two opponents in the first council of Nasea came from Alexandria.

00:26:59So Arius and Eusebius?

00:27:05It wasn't Alexandria, I know that, but anyways, yeah.

00:27:08So there's a whole bunch of scandalous stuff that comes out of Alexandria, so take note of that.

00:27:13We actually get the dating for Easter from Alexandria as well.

00:27:17And notice that 21 March, that's going to come up to play as we go throughout the rest of this

00:27:21history search on Easter.

00:27:24Moving on, we look at Arrhenius, writing about the end of the 2nd century, and he writes,

00:27:29When the blessed Polycarp was visiting in Rome in the time of Bishop Anacetus, they were at once well inclined

00:27:36toward each other.

00:27:37They were not willing that any quarrel should arise between them upon this matter.

00:27:41Anacetus could not persuade Polycarp to forego the observance of his Pascha customs,

00:27:46for these things had always been observed by John the disciple of our Lord and by other apostles with whom

00:27:54Polycarp had been conversant.

00:27:56Nor, on the other hand, could Polycarp succeed in persuading Anacetus to keep Pascha in his way,

00:28:01for Anacetus maintained that he was bound to adhere to the usage of the presbyters who preceded him.

00:28:07And in this state of affairs, they held fellowship with each other.

00:28:11Now this raises some very good things I want you to take note of real quick.

00:28:16Number one, notice here that Polycarp and Anacetus are having a difference of opinion on how to celebrate or observe

00:28:29Pascha.

00:28:30But, notice they were still keeping Pascha.

00:28:33Take that note.

00:28:34But they were having a disagreement.

00:28:37So, one of them couldn't convince the other to go his way,

00:28:43and the second one couldn't convince the first one to go his way,

00:28:46so what do they do?

00:28:47Do they excommunicate each other?

00:28:48Do they get in a fight?

00:28:49Does their bloodshed, like we see in later history?

00:28:52No.

00:28:53We see a disagreement here over the customs of Pascha between these two people in the early,

00:29:01I mean, in the second century.

00:29:03And what do they do?

00:29:04They still fellowship together.

00:29:07They said right here, they were at once well inclined towards each other,

00:29:10and they were not willing that any quarrel should arise between them upon this matter.

00:29:14And that, I mean, for a moment, just forget the whole Passover and Easter thing.

00:29:22This little historical tidbit about two people in the faith disagreeing about something,

00:29:29and they're still getting along, they're still fellowshipping,

00:29:31that is something for us to look at and take note of nowadays,

00:29:35because nowadays there's been disagreements and splits in churches over the color of the carpet.

00:29:41I mean, it gets absolutely ridiculous.

00:29:44But back then, they were disagreeing over Pascha customs,

00:29:49and they still fellowship together.

00:29:50They still got along.

00:29:51They still didn't want to quarrel.

00:29:52And that is absolutely wonderful.

00:29:55Also, take notice, they're both appealing to tradition.

00:29:59They're both saying, this is the way it was handed down to me.

00:30:02And Acetus says, well, those people who came before me, the presbyters, etc., etc.,

00:30:06who came before me, always did it this way.

00:30:09Olicarp, on the other hand, said, well, same here.

00:30:12I was taught by John the Disciple and other disciples how to do it,

00:30:16so I'm going to go with this.

00:30:18And I kind of sided with Polycarp.

00:30:20If he was a direct spiritual descendant of Yeshua, like we can clearly see,

00:30:25it was Yeshua and then John the Disciple and then Polycarp.

00:30:29He's pretty close to the source there.

00:30:31So I think Polycarp would probably have more accurate information than Anacetus would.

00:30:37But notice they're still celebrating Pascha.

00:30:40They're both appealing to tradition, but even though they both disagree,

00:30:43they still fellowship.

00:30:46And also notice, neither one of them accused the other of Judaizing

00:30:52or being legalistic or claiming that the law had been done away with

00:30:57or that the Pascha had been nailed to the cross.

00:31:01That was all excuses that came much later in history.

00:31:05It wasn't a thing at this point.

00:31:08So yeah, this is history.

00:31:10I love history.

00:31:10This is so much to learn from just this one little passage right here.

00:31:14But yeah, that is absolutely amazing.

00:31:17There's a bunch more good stuff coming up, so make sure you stay tuned.

00:31:21Now we saw in the Brut HaDashah that there was no new observance of the resurrection

00:31:26on a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly basis, anything like that.

00:31:31Nothing about the continual celebration of the resurrection,

00:31:37no new spring feast being ordained or commanded, nothing like that.

00:31:41Yeshua told us to remember what?

00:31:44The Pascha, the Passover, the Pesach.

00:31:47Nothing new, though.

00:31:49So keep that in mind.

00:31:50And then we see the early church, and a lot of them are still keeping Pascha

00:31:54like they're supposed to.

00:31:55We saw that.

00:31:56They kept it on the 14th like they're supposed to, like Scripture tells us.

00:31:59But then there's this divergence that comes in at some point in history,

00:32:03before the fourth century even.

00:32:06And then things just absolutely go haywire,

00:32:10and people start disregarding actual facts and Scripture and things like that.

00:32:15And the unfortunate part is that the people who start disregarding this

00:32:20and making authoritative decisions are the ones in power,

00:32:24and they have the sword, and et cetera, et cetera.

00:32:26But anyways, we look at the first, I'm sorry, canon one of the Council of Arlis.

00:32:32And this is something I recently learned.

00:32:36I always thought it was Nicaea, but it's not.

00:32:38The first time that Easter was pretty much mandated uniformly was in the early 4th century,

00:32:46about 11 years before Nicaea, actually, at the Council of Arlis in 314.

00:32:51And here in canon one, it says, quote,

00:32:54In the first place, concerning the celebration of Easter Sunday,

00:32:57that it be observed by us on one day and at one time in all the earth,

00:33:02and that you should send out letters to all as is the custom, end quote.

00:33:07So here is where it really starts getting, how should I say it,

00:33:14pressured or forced a particular date.

00:33:19And there were disagreements before, we saw that, and they still had fellowship.

00:33:23Now there is a, it's starting to be some form of ruling council, ruling group,

00:33:30and this is just the very beginnings of it.

00:33:33But they make the ruling that this Paschal Sunday,

00:33:38and remember back then it was said Pascha, not Easter,

00:33:41so this is another example of the mistranslation of modern translations.

00:33:46But anyways, they said back then that this Pascha Sunday should be observed

00:33:51by everyone on the same day, at the same time,

00:33:55and sent out letters to everyone telling them this.

00:33:58Now the dating has already been coming up,

00:34:01or has already been come up with by the Alexandrians.

00:34:04We already saw that.

00:34:05Now it's saying, okay, let's do this on the same day, everybody.

00:34:09And this is where they start disregarding scripture,

00:34:12to start disregarding the faith that was handed down once and for all to the saints,

00:34:16to start disregarding all that.

00:34:20Then we look at the letter from the Emperor Constantine,

00:34:23and he wrote this letter after the Council of Nicaea.

00:34:27Now, just to clarify, the Council of Nicaea did not address the issue of Easter.

00:34:33You look into the canons, you look into the debates,

00:34:36and there is nothing there about what day Easter should be on,

00:34:41what's out of calculated, all that stuff.

00:34:42You do find it in the extra writings,

00:34:46where people write to one another and stuff like that.

00:34:49And here's one of those from the Emperor Constantine

00:34:53to others who were not present at the Council.

00:34:56This is very eye-opening if you've never heard this.

00:34:59So take this, listen to this very, very closely.

00:35:01This is from Emperor Constantine.

00:35:04He says,

00:35:04When the question relative to Pascha arose,

00:35:08it was universally thought that it would be convenient

00:35:10that all should keep the feast on one day.

00:35:12We ought not, therefore, to have anything in common with the Jews.

00:35:16We desire, dearest brethren,

00:35:18to separate ourselves from the detestable company of the Jews.

00:35:22For it is truly shameful for us to hear them boast that,

00:35:26without their direction, we could not keep this feast.

00:35:28You should consider not only that the number of churches in these provinces

00:35:32make a majority, but also that it is right to demand that our reason approves

00:35:37and that we should have nothing in common with the Jews.

00:35:41By the unanimous judgment of all,

00:35:43it has been decided that the most holy festival of Pascha

00:35:47should be everywhere celebrated on one and the same day.

00:35:50Accept joyfully the divine favor and this truly divine command

00:35:55for all which takes place in assemblies of the bishops

00:35:58ought to be regarded as proceeding from the will of God.

00:36:01Keep this most holy day according to the prescribed mode.

00:36:05We can thus celebrate this holy Pascha day at the same time.

00:36:10Quote.

00:36:10End quote.

00:36:11And if you have any questions about why modern churchianity does things

00:36:16so much differently than the way scripture actually describes it

00:36:20or commands it, right here.

00:36:23This is where it really started branching off and dividing off.

00:36:27It's because of anti-Semitism,

00:36:30because of racism in the very early church.

00:36:34And granted, full disclosure, this was on both sides.

00:36:38The Jews of the time also,

00:36:41and some Jews even now,

00:36:43really did not like Messianics.

00:36:46So that's, yeah.

00:36:49Understand a little bit of the dynamics that was going on back then.

00:36:53But yeah, the reason we diverged so much

00:36:55was because of this anti-Semitism

00:36:57that started so, so early in the quote-unquote church.

00:37:03And here in this letter from Constantine,

00:37:05he doesn't try to hide it.

00:37:06But he just says directly,

00:37:09those detestable Jews,

00:37:10the detestable company of Jews

00:37:12don't have nothing in common with those Jews,

00:37:14et cetera, et cetera.

00:37:15I mean, it's horrid.

00:37:17And that's why the official command or decree came

00:37:24was because of anti-Semitism.

00:37:26Now, I remember back in 314 at the Council of Arliss,

00:37:29they said everyone should celebrate on the same day,

00:37:32on the same Sunday.

00:37:33And this pretty much solidified it from the emperor.

00:37:37It was back in 314.

00:37:38And as far as I can remember,

00:37:40that was during the reign of Constantine as well.

00:37:43But I see it was the really big one anyways.

00:37:47But going on,

00:37:48we see this whole dating of Easter done,

00:37:53and the Alexandrians come up with the dating schedule

00:37:56surrounding the vernal equinox.

00:37:59Now, as you look in Scripture,

00:38:02think to yourself,

00:38:03from what you know and what you've done in your studies,

00:38:05how many of the commanded feast days or moedim

00:38:09are based upon the solar calendar,

00:38:13on the vernal equinoxes or the solstices

00:38:16or anything like that?

00:38:18Zero.

00:38:19There is zero events commanded in Scripture

00:38:23for us to keep that we base off of the equinoxes

00:38:27or the solstices.

00:38:29So we've got now decrees that it should be held on a Sunday

00:38:34and based off the vernal equinox.

00:38:36And we've got the dating come from Alexandria,

00:38:39which also put out a lot of Platonism

00:38:42and a lot of Gnosticism.

00:38:44We've got the decree it should all be kept

00:38:46by all of the quote-unquote Christian world

00:38:49on the same day.

00:38:51And when they'd done the,

00:38:52this went on for a long, long time,

00:38:54but during that time,

00:38:56the Council of Nacia,

00:38:56and for a long time after that,

00:38:58they had the Julian calendar,

00:38:59and eventually they started realizing

00:39:01that this was off.

00:39:03So when they wanted to reform the calendar

00:39:06and do a new calendar,

00:39:08one of the things they based this whole new calendar

00:39:11reform off of was Easter.

00:39:13That was that important to them.

00:39:15For whatever reason.

00:39:17And when it comes to the Gregorian calendar,

00:39:19here's what the Britannica.com says,

00:39:21quote,

00:39:22Gregorian calendar was proclaimed in 1582

00:39:25by Pope Gregory VIII

00:39:27as a reform of the Julian calendar.

00:39:29Pope Gregory's based his reform

00:39:32on restoration of the vernal equinox,

00:39:34then falling on March 11th to March 21st,

00:39:38the date it occurred in 325 CE,

00:39:41which was the time of the first Council of Nicaea,

00:39:44and not the date of the equinox

00:39:47at the time of the birth of Christ,

00:39:48when it fell on March 25th.

00:39:50The change was effected by advancing the calendar

00:39:5310 days after October 4th, 1582,

00:39:57the day following became reckoned

00:39:59as October 15th, end quote.

00:40:01Now, if you stayed with us

00:40:02through the Christmas in Details series,

00:40:04we went into a lot more information

00:40:06on this particular change.

00:40:07But let it be known,

00:40:08this whole change,

00:40:10when they did the reform

00:40:11and went into the Gregorian calendar,

00:40:12it was all revolving around Easter,

00:40:15and especially that vernal equinox,

00:40:17which they had placed on March 21st.

00:40:21So this is how important

00:40:22the Easter was

00:40:24to the quote-unquote church,

00:40:27to the popes and the cardinals,

00:40:29et cetera, et cetera.

00:40:30And it's all for naught,

00:40:32in my opinion,

00:40:33because they're not basing it

00:40:35on what Scripture tells us.

00:40:37If you knew nothing

00:40:38about the resurrection of Yeshua,

00:40:42nothing about tradition or anything else,

00:40:44and you wanted to start a tradition

00:40:46of celebrating the resurrection,

00:40:47and you looked into Scripture,

00:40:49how would you come up with the date

00:40:52for celebrating the resurrection?

00:40:54Well, you would look at Scripture

00:40:56and where it says,

00:40:57you shall celebrate the Passover

00:40:59and eat the Passover

00:41:01between the evenings

00:41:03on the 14th and the 15th, right?

00:41:05And then you also read

00:41:06that Yeshua was raised

00:41:08on the third day

00:41:09after His crucifixion.

00:41:11The third day.

00:41:12It never says anything

00:41:14about He shall be raised

00:41:15on a particular day of the week.

00:41:16It says the third day.

00:41:18So if you're doing this yourself,

00:41:19you'll look at when Passover is.

00:41:22Take that date,

00:41:23add three days and three nights,

00:41:25and then you've got the date

00:41:26for the resurrection,

00:41:27regardless of what day of week it is.

00:41:30But no,

00:41:32not according to the quote-unquote church.

00:41:35They base it off of a solar calendar,

00:41:38and when you base it off

00:41:40a solar calendar,

00:41:41especially Catholic Church,

00:41:42they also make sure

00:41:44it always comes on a what?

00:41:46A solar day,

00:41:47the Sunday,

00:41:48day of the sun god

00:41:50that they adopted.

00:41:51Solus Invictus,

00:41:52et cetera, et cetera.

00:41:53And this is other stuff

00:41:54that's crept into the church.

00:41:56They always make sure

00:41:57that it's going to be

00:41:58on a sun day.

00:42:00Not three days after Passover,

00:42:02but a sun day.

00:42:04They place more importance

00:42:06on the sun day

00:42:07than they do

00:42:08on the biblical Passover.

00:42:12It's disappointing.

00:42:14It really is.

00:42:15But anyways,

00:42:16moving on,

00:42:17we look here

00:42:19at Pope Gregory's statement

00:42:21that when he put out the,

00:42:23or during his whole time

00:42:24of the changeover

00:42:24to the Gregorian calendar,

00:42:26Pope Gregory put out

00:42:27this particular statement

00:42:28on the new reform.

00:42:30He says,

00:42:30quote,

00:42:31The reform of the second part,

00:42:32which first requires

00:42:33the restoration of the calendar

00:42:35because the various

00:42:36calendar reform projects

00:42:37did not maintain

00:42:40intact the ancient rights

00:42:42of the church

00:42:42and that was our first concern

00:42:43in this business.

00:42:44It is necessary to rule

00:42:46at the same time

00:42:47on three points

00:42:47to restore the celebration

00:42:48of Easter.

00:42:49First,

00:42:50the precise date

00:42:51of the vernal equinox,

00:42:52then the exact date

00:42:53of the 14th day of the moon,

00:42:55which reaches this age

00:42:56the very same day

00:42:57as the equinox

00:42:58or immediately afterwards.

00:42:59Finally,

00:43:00the first Sunday,

00:43:01which follows this same

00:43:0214th day of the moon.

00:43:05So thus,

00:43:06that the vernal equinox,

00:43:07which was fixed

00:43:08by the fathers

00:43:09of the first Nicene council

00:43:11at 12th Calends of April,

00:43:14which is March 21st,

00:43:15is replaced on this date,

00:43:17we prescribe in order

00:43:18that there is removed

00:43:19from October of the year,

00:43:21the 1582,

00:43:22the 10 days,

00:43:23which go from the third

00:43:24before nuns

00:43:25to the day

00:43:27before the Ides

00:43:28inclusively.

00:43:28End quote.

00:43:30So even Pope Gregory

00:43:30says that they

00:43:32were doing this

00:43:32whole calendar reform

00:43:33and revolving it

00:43:34around Easter,

00:43:36around the vernal equinox.

00:43:38And I ask you again,

00:43:40when in all the scripture

00:43:42does it ever tell you

00:43:43the date for anything

00:43:44based off an equinox

00:43:46or a solstice?

00:43:47It never does.

00:43:49And so as time goes on,

00:43:51different things

00:43:52come in to the faith,

00:43:54come in to the,

00:43:56what used to be

00:43:57be the celebration

00:43:58of the Passover.

00:43:59That's how it

00:43:59originally started out.

00:44:00And then this got changed

00:44:02about the celebration

00:44:03of Passover.

00:44:04And this got changed

00:44:05about the celebration

00:44:06of Passover.

00:44:07And this and this

00:44:07and this and this.

00:44:09And it's no longer now

00:44:11what it used to be.

00:44:13It's completely

00:44:14unrecognizable

00:44:15what we have today

00:44:16than what happened

00:44:17back in 60 AD

00:44:19or 90 AD.

00:44:22As time went on,

00:44:23these different things

00:44:24crept in and it

00:44:25eventually painted

00:44:26over the resurrection

00:44:28so much so that it's

00:44:30nothing like what

00:44:32it originally was.

00:44:34And what are some

00:44:35of these various things

00:44:35that crept in?

00:44:36Let's examine that.

00:44:39We look at

00:44:40Socrates

00:44:42Galacticus

00:44:43and he says here,

00:44:44quote,

00:44:44And it seems to me

00:44:46that just as many

00:44:47other customs

00:44:47have been established

00:44:49in individual localities

00:44:50according to usage,

00:44:51the feast of Easter

00:44:52came to be observed

00:44:53in each place

00:44:54according to the

00:44:55individual peculiarities

00:44:56of the peoples

00:44:57inasmuch as none

00:44:58of the apostles

00:44:59legislated on the matter.

00:45:01End quote.

00:45:02True.

00:45:02They did not legislate

00:45:03on the matter

00:45:04because they didn't care.

00:45:05They wasn't establishing

00:45:07some annual remembrance

00:45:08like this.

00:45:10And another good point

00:45:12he makes is that

00:45:12the customs are established

00:45:14and done according

00:45:15to these individual

00:45:17localities

00:45:18and peculiarities.

00:45:22And in a way,

00:45:23I kind of don't disagree

00:45:24with that,

00:45:24but you've got to stick

00:45:25to the main thing,

00:45:28the main part of it,

00:45:30the main point,

00:45:31the main issue.

00:45:33And Yeshua says,

00:45:35Remember,

00:45:35do this in remembrance

00:45:36of me.

00:45:36Eat the Passover,

00:45:37observe the Passover

00:45:38in remembrance of me.

00:45:39It is his death

00:45:41and the shedding of his blood

00:45:42on the cross

00:45:43that is the Passover

00:45:45part of it.

00:45:47No one ever,

00:45:48in the Brit Hadashah,

00:45:49no one ever celebrated

00:45:51or had a tradition

00:45:52or a feast day

00:45:53about the resurrection.

00:45:54I'm not saying

00:45:55it's not important.

00:45:55I'm just saying

00:45:56there's no evidence

00:45:57for a celebration

00:45:57in the Brit Hadashah.

00:45:59So if you want

00:46:01to have these differences

00:46:02and nuances

00:46:03with the way you do

00:46:04certain things,

00:46:05that's fine,

00:46:05but don't contradict

00:46:07and go against

00:46:07what's clearly taught

00:46:09in Scripture.

00:46:10But then we go on

00:46:11and look at the

00:46:11Encyclopedia Britannica

00:46:13and it says,

00:46:13quote,

00:46:14Easter like Christmas

00:46:15has accumulated

00:46:15a great many traditions,

00:46:17some of which

00:46:18have little to do

00:46:19with the Christian

00:46:19celebration of the resurrection

00:46:21but derived from

00:46:22folk customs,

00:46:24end quote.

00:46:25Amen.

00:46:26In fact,

00:46:27all these little folk

00:46:28customs that they're

00:46:28referring to here

00:46:29that have crept in

00:46:30and painted over

00:46:31top of the resurrection,

00:46:34they have,

00:46:35like I said,

00:46:36zero to do

00:46:36with the actual

00:46:38resurrection part.

00:46:39You don't see anything,

00:46:40any mention of them

00:46:41in Scripture

00:46:42and some you actually

00:46:43find that run

00:46:44contradictory to Scripture.

00:46:46We'll get into that

00:46:46in just a minute.

00:46:47But yeah,

00:46:48these different folk

00:46:49customs and things

00:46:50that come in

00:46:50that have been

00:46:52added to Pascha

00:46:54as it was known

00:46:55in the early days,

00:46:56it was known

00:46:56in the Scriptures,

00:46:57all these different

00:46:58things that have been

00:46:58added to it

00:46:59have covered up

00:47:00and painted over

00:47:01the resurrection

00:47:01to where you don't

00:47:02even recognize it

00:47:03anymore.

00:47:04All you see

00:47:05is what we now

00:47:06call Easter.

00:47:07We look at

00:47:08the Judas Encyclopedia,

00:47:10quote,

00:47:11Easter from

00:47:12Eostre Ostara,

00:47:14the Tutankadess

00:47:15of the rising day,

00:47:16particularly of spring,

00:47:18name given by

00:47:18Anglo-Saxons

00:47:19to the Christian

00:47:20Passover

00:47:20as the feast

00:47:21of resurrection

00:47:22and rather incorrectly

00:47:23used for the

00:47:24Hebrew Passover.

00:47:27Originally,

00:47:27Pascha or Passover

00:47:29was the name

00:47:30given by the

00:47:30Christians

00:47:31to the 14th day

00:47:32of Nisan

00:47:33as the day

00:47:34of the crucifixion

00:47:34corresponding to

00:47:36the eve

00:47:36of the Hebrew

00:47:37Passover,

00:47:38the season

00:47:38of the sacrifice

00:47:39of the Paschal Lamb.

00:47:40This was followed

00:47:41by the memorial

00:47:42of the resurrection

00:47:43on the succeeding

00:47:44Sunday,

00:47:45end quote.

00:47:47So here you can see

00:47:48one of the things

00:47:49that came in

00:47:49and started painting

00:47:50over the resurrection

00:47:51was this pagan name

00:47:53of Easter

00:47:54which came from

00:47:55a pagan fertility

00:47:57goddess

00:47:57up in Europe,

00:47:59one of the Celtic,

00:47:59I think,

00:48:00Teutonic,

00:48:01sorry,

00:48:02Teutonic goddess.

00:48:04And this is

00:48:05one of the many

00:48:06things that started

00:48:06painting over

00:48:07what we would know

00:48:09of as the resurrection

00:48:10started covering that up,

00:48:11started hiding

00:48:12the actual reason

00:48:14and what we should

00:48:14remember Passover for.

00:48:16Not Easter,

00:48:17but Passover.

00:48:19We go on and look

00:48:20at the Encyclopedia

00:48:21Britannica

00:48:21and it says,

00:48:22quote,

00:48:23the name Easter,

00:48:24German Ostern,

00:48:25like the names

00:48:25of the days of the week,

00:48:26is a survival

00:48:27from old Teutonic

00:48:29mythology.

00:48:29According to Betty,

00:48:31it is derived

00:48:32from Eostra

00:48:33or Ostara,

00:48:34the Anglo-Saxon

00:48:35goddess of spring

00:48:36to whom the month

00:48:37answering to our April

00:48:38and called Eostra Monath

00:48:40was dedicated,

00:48:41end quote.

00:48:42And from the Catholic

00:48:43Encyclopedia,

00:48:44quote,

00:48:45the English term

00:48:45according to the

00:48:46Venerable Betty

00:48:47relates to Eostra,

00:48:49a Teutonic goddess

00:48:50of the rising light

00:48:51of day and spring,

00:48:52which deity,

00:48:53however,

00:48:54is otherwise unknown

00:48:55even in the Edda.

00:48:57Anglo-Saxon

00:48:58Easter,

00:48:58Eostron,

00:48:59Old High German,

00:49:00Ostra,

00:49:01Ostara,

00:49:02Ostraron,

00:49:03German Ostern,

00:49:04April was called

00:49:05Easter Monad,

00:49:06end quote.

00:49:08So this spring

00:49:09fertility goddess

00:49:10is where we have

00:49:11our name

00:49:11that we know of

00:49:12nowadays as Easter.

00:49:14A little bit of

00:49:15tangent side note here,

00:49:17this name Easter

00:49:18is actually

00:49:19very rare

00:49:20throughout the world.

00:49:21I think it's only

00:49:22in like English

00:49:23speaking countries

00:49:25and also German

00:49:26where you get

00:49:27this name Easter

00:49:28or Eostrae

00:49:29or something

00:49:30like that.

00:49:31Everywhere else

00:49:32I've looked

00:49:32it's some derivation

00:49:34of Pascha.

00:49:36You have

00:49:36Pascha,

00:49:37Pascal,

00:49:39Pasch,

00:49:40things like that.

00:49:41So it still

00:49:42retains

00:49:43that word

00:49:44for Passover

00:49:45and it hasn't

00:49:46been replaced

00:49:47by a pagan

00:49:48goddess name.

00:49:49If you want to

00:49:50look in the notes

00:49:51on our website

00:49:51there's actually

00:49:52more information

00:49:53on that as well.

00:49:54Actually some

00:49:54charts that we

00:49:55have outlined there.

00:49:58Then we look

00:49:59at Jacob Grimm

00:50:00and his

00:50:00Dutch mythology.

00:50:02Quote,

00:50:03Ostarae

00:50:04seems therefore

00:50:05to have been

00:50:06the divinity

00:50:07of the radiant

00:50:07dawn of

00:50:08unupspringing

00:50:09light,

00:50:10a spectacle

00:50:11that brings

00:50:11joy and blessing

00:50:12whose meaning

00:50:13can be easily

00:50:14adapted by

00:50:14the resurrection

00:50:15day.

00:50:16Confires

00:50:16were lit

00:50:17lighted at

00:50:18Easter

00:50:18and according

00:50:19to popular

00:50:19belief of

00:50:20longstanding

00:50:21the moment

00:50:21the sun rises

00:50:22on Easter

00:50:23Sunday morning

00:50:23he gives

00:50:24three joyful

00:50:25leaps

00:50:25he dances

00:50:26for joy.

00:50:27Water drawn

00:50:28on the Easter

00:50:28morning is

00:50:29like that

00:50:29at Christmas

00:50:30holy and

00:50:31healing.

00:50:32Here also

00:50:33heathen

00:50:33notions

00:50:34seem to

00:50:35have grafted

00:50:36themselves

00:50:36on great

00:50:37Christian

00:50:38festivals.

00:50:39Maidens

00:50:39clothed in

00:50:40white

00:50:40who at

00:50:41Easter

00:50:41at the

00:50:42season

00:50:42of

00:50:42returning

00:50:43spring

00:50:43show

00:50:44themselves

00:50:44in

00:50:45clefts

00:50:45of the

00:50:46rock

00:50:46and on

00:50:46mountains

00:50:47are

00:50:47suggestive

00:50:48of the

00:50:48ancient

00:50:49goddess.

00:50:50End quote.

00:50:52And it's

00:50:53so sad

00:50:53that number

00:50:54one you should

00:50:55not bring

00:50:55the stuff

00:50:55in anyways

00:50:56but as

00:50:57you look

00:50:57and start

00:50:58studying

00:50:59history

00:50:59you find

00:51:00that not

00:51:00only were

00:51:01these pagan

00:51:02things brought

00:51:03in to

00:51:03the faith

00:51:04they actually

00:51:05ended up

00:51:05replacing

00:51:06various things

00:51:08within the

00:51:08faith.

00:51:09And here

00:51:10as we go

00:51:11through the

00:51:11rest of the

00:51:11study you're

00:51:12going to see

00:54:04and burn

00:54:06it in

00:54:17be a reason

00:54:17for that

00:54:18eggs

00:54:19as far as

00:54:20religious matters
