From the DVD Truth or Tradition by Jim Staley - This is BY FAR one of THE MOST POPULAR videos on the internet detailing the historical accounts and biblical commentary on Easter and Christmas. Thousands of years ago, as sun worship (Baal worship) increased, so did the worship of his wife, the "Queen of Heaven", Easter. We are told through this Babylonian legend that every year on "Easter Sunday" at sunrise, the priests of Easter would impregnate young virgins on the altar of Baal. Then, the next year, they would take the now three month old babies and sacrifice them on the altar on Easter Sunday at the sunrise service. They would then take the eggs of Easter and dye the eggs in the blood of the sacrificed infants. The facts are that virtually everything that is associated with Easter can be traced back to pagan ritualistic ceremonies that Yahweh hated. How do you think God feels looking down from Heaven and seeing us celebrate a day with the name of a pagan goddess, passing out stuffed Easter bunnies to the children that are picking up dyed Easter eggs, eating Easter ham on Easter Sunday morning while we attend Easter sunrise services on the exact same day that all of the sun-worshippers did for thousands of years!? The early Christians kept Passover for almost three hundred years until it was outlawed by Constantine in 325 A.D. This teaching was first featured on God's Learning Channel. You will be shocked at the details of this video and it is not for the faint of heart. DO NOT watch this unless you want to know the truth. Even if you already know the history, this video will challenge even you.
