Hi Ana. This is very good research on your part....I also think of the Jewish calender on this subject...where the Jews kept to two calenders one for civil use and the other for feasts and holy days....One calender had Tishri as the first month of the year which was around October and the other had Nisan as the first month of the year which is April...the celebration of Easter occurred in the Month Nisan....also a funny occurrence of simultanaeity arrived in the month Nisan at the ressurection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ...the pagans where celebrating a festivity to Es Terr a goddess of fertility, who was symbolized by the egg and the rabbit...these festivities just happened to be occuring in the month Nisan simultaneous to the Resurrection of our Lord...and hence we now have Easter...that brings along with it some of these other traditions..that do not necessarity pertain directly to Christ...rev. nathan
