Should Rabbits and Eggs Be Part of Easter?

[Rdr Iakovos]

I don't agree with the whole easter thing....
I do passover!!

Passover is glorious commemoration of the deliverance of the Jews from spiritual bondage.

Christ is our Passover from death to life, ie from spiritual bondage. Therefore, there is Passover, and then there is Great and Holy Pascha, the death and resurrection of our Lord.

He did not rise form the dead on Passover. He was crucified on Nisan 14, and rose from the dead on Nisan 16, First Fruits.

He now tabernacles with humankind, since the descent of the Spirit on pentecost (feast of weeks).

The Hebrew feasts, glorious as they are, point to a coming Messiah, He who has come and will come again.
The triumphal entry (Palm Sunday) speaks of His parousia, His second coming.

The feasts of Pascha, Pentecost, Advent, and the Nativity therefore all speak to the historical Incarnation of Christ. To not partake of these is, in some fashion, to deny His having come.

All of the Hebrew festivals pointed to Him coming. All of the Christian festivals point to Him having come, and to come.

The point is i don't think a lot of RC's know that Mary is the dispenser and decision maker of grace from God, according to the RCC.

Oh, well I disagree with your disagreement - hence me being a RC.

Probably, but it's interesting how every thread in GT between Protestants and Catholics eventually turn into a "discussion" about Mary, no matter the subject.
