What was easter celebrating before christians took it over?
Other urls found in this thread:
i think fertility or some shit like that
thats what I m trying to find out
anyone has more info on this?
Fertility
It makes sense considering it is the best part of spring when all the plants are blooming, birds are laying eggs etc. It is a celebration of the end of winter and fertility.
spring
but like what did the people do, what were the festivities like, any tradition associated with it, deities?
I dont understand how a holiday could be taken over when it celebrates an entirely different fucking thing. All the faggots on this board spamming this cranium excrement need to commit neck rope.
>be nice community, high trust, your familly and the familly of your cousins
>you have crops, overtime you start to celebrate the end of winter
>later some guy asks you to worship jesus (or he ll kill you)
>he decides to keep the hollyday, but instead of whatever the reason for it was now its about jebus rising from the dead
thats pretty much how
So what you're telling me is that the Northern Crusades were *stealing* a holy day from the Pagans? I'm all about the values and such of paganism but it's not my fault the religion was exterminated by a pact of neighbor-killing "loving" christian nations.
Let me add on. If paganism was still around today, there would still be celebrations by pagans for THEIR holy day. There's just no one around anymore to celebrate that though.
This
Spring solstice, well it still is but with different caricatures
Can’t remember exactly but it was some Saxon festival called esti or something like that. It celebrated the same thing. Life and rebirth
Pagans don't have any way of knowing what their pre-Christian ancestors actually did. A monk made up a pagan holiday similar to Easter and 1500 years later pagans wewuz about their fake holiday on Jow Forums
Ah, so Jow Forumsgans are basically niggers. Got it.
It's really simple.
>pagans celebrate spring's arrival during the first full moon after the equinox
>gradually, (((priests))) start subverting their festivities
>the church destroys all holy sites, kills the pagan priests, and finalize this genocide by co-opting their celebrations into their own
In Norway, this happened to Yule, Both equinoxes, and midsummer.
They became, respectively:
>jul
we kept the name but made it all about some sandnigger kike whose father was a literal cuck and mother was a self-loathing whore
>påske
strangely enough the scandinavian countries didn't keep the pagan name for easter, but the english, who were christianized prior to us, did
>jonsok
this one is simple, they just took the summer solstice and made it about some kike named "John" (more like Ioannes, lol)
>olsok
again, they took the misummer celebrations and made it about king Olav who died trying to christianize Norway. Christians really have a thing for losers and cucks, don't they?
**both solstices
Spring. Back then making it through winter was a thing to celebrate. All Christian holidays are basically co-opted pagan holy days. Where tf does it mention Christmas trees and mistletoe in the bible
What did nordic countries do for samain?
Spring equinox, or rather, the full moon after the equinox. There were lots of celebrations throughout the year about seasonal changes, dependent on celestial events.
Christianity had to adopt these traditions in order for it to be accepted.
More like European Christian just kept their cultural traditions after they converted. Other Christians do not celebrate the same as we do.
The arrival of spring and the fertility of both nature and ourselves it brings. Thus the eggs, chickens and rabbits. Rabbits fuck all the time, chickens lay eggs all the time, and during spring humans get horny as fuck. Prior to the crucified jew, you would celebrate life returning from the cold, long and hard winter.

Not sure we ever did anything for samhain besides harvest festivals and the like. Before the arrival of Halloween people would go from door to door and sing christmas songs in exchange for oranges and stuff like that throughout december.
Basically Weimar style orgies.
