I much preferer Resurrection Sunday.

So because some non-Christians celebrated the return of longer daylight and the promise of spring Christians can't use that symbol, that time of year, as the promise of salvation? Or symbols of renewal of life, eggs, bunnies as a symbol of being born again, all because some pagan thought of it first? Does that mean because other religions celebrate life Christians can't?

My, what a dower, sad religion. And here I thought the promise of salvation and particularly the fulfillment of that promise were joyous times to be celebrated to the fullest.
