It's good to see you here Mister rabbit, and now you know it's good,

to see that you- and I are here safe in the audio studio with Norway, founded found all these MIKE's again and all the equipment worries the heart, run smashed. Ladies and gentlemen, we played a bit of an April fool's prank that we hope enjoyed. It seemed like most people enjoyed it. I think so, there's a bit away. I guess it was of workers, There are some comments that didn't make it to the page. Oh well, yeah back in but we do. We do appreciate everyone here on playing along with a stare and not ruining this prize for some other people exact, I thought Sazen, especially clever, to signal and spaghetti references have when we get people suggesting we could hide amongst the spaghetti trees, which I came from a brilliant idea on your part. Matt I, in its strange just April fools

general before we get into what the shows about dated April fools in general is not something that I'm the biggest fan of, because I think it can go too far. You know sure you can have fun with it as well. I think a lot of companies do. I saw Google made the actual cloud, we're whatever was the free it? What exactly the videos? But Google came out with a thing this year about the actual cloud. That's I haven't seen there. Yet it was just the idea that their storing information on an actual actual cloud at the end, there is a spoiler alert. Sorry there, man and his daughter staring and looking at the clouds and the fathers explaining to the child about what the cloud is and what it does and at the end as it goes to the title screen the little girls, just like. Oh, ok, Nobody tell Veal Reich and the organ crew. I always wanted a cloud buster just to stay.

It would be a dangerous as a thing it at my house yet April, fool's day is interesting because it came about sort of his alters symptom of some arguments regarding calendar shrank, and what we are talking about today is Also something that has a chronological debate, dogging it calendars play in big. It is one of the most important today's wholly days technically will take it back to the proper etymology were the most important wholly days in the christian sphere. Every denomination celebrates this maybe not on the same day. Maybe,

in the same way, but it is a big deal. Absolutely events celebrated in the life of Jesus Christ on this day are the perhaps the crux of the religion of Hu Jia, and this of course, as as you all know, probably by now is Easter. We are talking about Easter, the commemoration of the day that Christians believe Jesus Christ after his crucifixion was resurrected and returned to the living, and thankfully we work for a company called Helstone works. Then we ve got wonderful articles that go into just long detail in the stuff, so we're gonna be talking at least partly, if not a lot we're gonna speaking to you from an article called how Easter works on house of works that account right by writer named John Airy. Who did it? We did a bang up job, so the first things we need to know about Easter, the very first basic there

super old. It is very, very, very old. The stuff that is part of Easter does predate the time of Christ, we already know what Easter is today. Maybe that's the best way to start when it. What's that what happens today, sure when you think of Easter now a days in the modern twenty fifteen world, you think about candy evening, Kelly Beams, Easter eggs in a bunch, wherefore eggs and dies that go with them. This. For me, the smell of the vinegar die oh yeah yeah. I remember that who really wealth as a child

I would see a bunnies gleam of bunnies, even the baskets that you'll see little children's walking around with rearing cute, but you know not just a commercial venture. That's no at Easter is not a festival for hallmark and clover, and all these places yeah yeah it's accordingly Encyclopedias Miriam Webster Encyclopaedia Britannica. It is a Christian. Urge Festival celebrating, as we said, the return of Jesus Christ to life following his death or alternately defined as the Sunday in early spring, on which this festival is observed

he said that the central festival of the church, but it's also the oldest one second oldest one, excuse me ass observance of the Sabbath would be number one there, and, unlike unlike festivals there, you would up other christian vessels that you'd think of it are. Very importantly, Christmas. Easter has been celebrated without interruption since the times of the new testament. Yet the second big thing to know as we go into this. Is that schedule wise Easter? is complicated here so of ok wishes go into this. This is from Britannica Encyclopaedia Britannica. Western Christian celebrate Easter on that, first Sunday, after the full moon villages, the Pascual Moon, now that occurs on or next after the vernal Equinox on March twenty first and if the Pascoe Moon, which has come,

from the system of golden numbers and it's a little complicated here, but it doesn't. Essentially Easter Sunday, doesn't necessarily coincide with an astronomical full moon which occurs on a Sunday. Easter is just the following Sunday right, yeah yeah, that's all confusing to me! Yeah right! So we're talking about- two different kind of moon is lunar calendar, which is which we can get into a little bit in more detail. But there's there is the real full moon when you walk outside and see in the darkness, Then there is the scheduled other cylindrical. If I can make a boar moon so the U S, naval the astronomical applications department put some work into this and they come to me

inclusion. The Easter is determined by was called the Ecclesiastical Moon calendar move right and that's defined by these church constructed tables, timetables that are permanently supposed to be used for calculating the fourth earth. Of the full moon of this full moon ass. He said, isn't necessarily the same thing, and this means that Easter is not now solely the Sunday after a full moon. It could just be the next Sunday after the ecclesiastical move. Now here's the weird thing Easter means the Easter doesn't necessarily fall on the same day. Every year. It there's a fairly wide range thing: it's March, twenty second, until was in April, when he first yeah yeah, it's a movable feasted on the technical phrase, and I and I enjoy the phrase yet this the state you were taken up

The state range was decreed by a pope right, yes, Pope Gregory the thirteenth in fifteen, eighty two and he made this earth. This was decreed as part of the Gregorian counted her the changes, the recurring enough wonder up into let the gay and in new testament Times the christian church celebrated Easter. When people, the jewish faith were observing pass over by the man The second century, though this moved Easter, that is, move to the Sunday after pass over in the the council nice here, which we have talked about many times, one of the decisions they made no was way back in three twenty five. Eighty or I see your eyes open up that all Ghana worms right through it. I heard it had all churches should celebrate the Easter together. A Sunday. However, There's a big difference here between the western

christian world and the eastern christian world here, Eastern Orthodox Church, it may even celebrate Easter up to a month afterwards, which is interesting, indicates the calculation of the date is based on the Julian calendar for them, which is very different from from the other one gregorian calendar, which is thirteen days behind right, which is interesting, Julian is thirteen days behind the Gregorian, so perhaps know there's some difference there. Right. There is so much scheduling here. Oh I don't if you could call it a the controversy. It was indeed historically a source of of enormous controversy, but the The churches seemed to have adopted a a sort of live and let live. Attitude

Ultimately, maybe this is correct me if you think I'm just being way too. I don't know I don't know of casual about this, but it is a festival to celebrate something. For me. It isn't necessarily important if it gets on the exact correct day. Just seems as those important that its celebrated on a yearly basis though, we're part these days was sharing more so at Geico, we'd like to say thanks thanks for sharing your savage dance moves sharing your d. I why haircut fails thanks for sharing your inner lips ink star now, it's our turn to share with the Geico give back ten percent credit on car and motorcycle policies for current and new customers, because we committed for the longer the fifteen for credit last your full policy to visit guy

that comes less, give back for more info and eligibility working from home conference cause. It's time you John with everything we have going on right now. It's never been more important to sleep. We need, while we sleep is a natural amused and only the sweet number three sixty smart and sensitive movements and automatically just confidence appoint on both sides. Drizzly number setting. So all those other things were doing this. They help me unhappy. Well, they work better chip and now, during the lowest price of the season, the queen sleep number three sixty C4 squandered, only twelve. I do not say port at all. It's only for a limited time to learn more go to sleep number. Dotcom estuary seen there, probably there, probably quite a few people who feel that way, but the fact of the matter is today in modern times. We don't have a lot of people, the travelling to an eastern orthodox church to protest at the time that they celebrate Easter. No, so let's talk about this, actual day right under also you ve already Verde tied up some stuff. We do know that

when this Sunday occurs, whenever it does actually Kerr, it's it's gonna be celebrated in different ways throughout the world or even from country to country. In the United States, there is often a thinking sunrise service row. I've been many of those in my day. That's true yeah yeah! You have! I remember you mentioning some these. What what's that about? Well, it was just if I recall Correctly- five recall correctly- We would go out to wheel. We had our church fairly close to a lake and we would go out to this little travel on the lake that was in an exterior chapel adjust pews. There were outside and we would ask the sun would rise. It was almost symbolic of Jesus resurrecting itself s. Right? Yes, and also the arrival in Muslim before sunrise and that Sunday of his resurrection

here's, an interesting fact that some people I not know what might be surprising to some of our lessons here. Met Easter was not celebrate or mentioned in the Bible. No, it is not mentioned in the Bible. It this this. The three days peer the three year period, good Friday, when Jesus was observed, were thought to be killed, then buried then The Easter Sunday, three days later rose from the dead got out of the the stone moved and he's gone. That is more of a not modern christian rod. Post Bible writing Christianity. I see and it's actually is least is not mentioned as Easter. No in the in the biblical text it it's important for us saying- and maybe we should have mentioned something about this at the top- that when we, when we talk about these sorts of topics, these articles

we're we're. Not, making any value or judgment call about what you or your friends or your enemies, or the people see on the street believe as they really are but what we can do and what we are going to do is look into the origins of east or the possible origins of Easter as the event it is to day. So when you know counting freaks bore the rabbit and the eggs and an end, not sort of stuff we're not. Anyway, I've seen it. You're going to bust some. Story, but it is interesting to us that there there's such controversy even today over how the started so pretty immediate, when you look at just the history of right, yeah, a lot of people agree about the origins of you, Sir,

should be no surprise. You often here at attributed to a couple things one would be pre existing they just rights, particularly spring festivals and fertility rituals, right that a lot of people would say these are pagan rituals than inside quotes. If you couldn't tell which again pagan is a loaded, termite movement. I used to hear that a lot and I still do you hear the word pagan alot and it doesn't seem to be referred anything besides Non monotheistic right yeah, it's interesting when we hear the way that word is used, often ass, sort of a pejorative derogatory, you know, and then there are NEO pagans who consciously identify themselves opinions, and then there are people who feel like that's very disrespect, don't call me a pagan. For instance, I am a wicked or something like that. Absolutely and new listening,

know that a lot of us out there are hearing stuff like that and say well, don't wanna be offensive, but what's the right term, correct civil. So the the idea, there's this this one idea that very popular that the celebration of Easter is based on an older worship of a goddess Saxon guy, and you're. Here, this you'll hear this get thrown around as the definite truth. This stuff. They don't want you to know about Easter celebrations. But when you trace back this It all goes back to one. Guy who's got a great name, the venerable Betty CD. And wrote this thing called the reckoning of time in eighth in the eighth century, and he states that

Anglo Saxons. During a a month that was roughly around April, called who here we go else. Among up her bush, but when he states that there were the feast held in honour of the Scottish, spelled e o s, T r e Easter poster but that this tradition died out and it was replaced by this christian tradition is pass your month. Pascal which ass we see as the celebration of the wrecked resurrection of Christ. So this guy venerable though it may be, the only source of this claim apparently lands. You can find various historian saying that not only

the only source of it, but they think he made it up or him yellow. Perhaps it's just have to prove it right, right, yeah we didn't have the kind of record. Keeping that we have today, but also here we see this kind of Parallel of things happen often, oh, you just look at the various Messianic those have had stories very similar to what we would recognize as the modern life and death cycle life, death, rebirth cycle of Jesus Christ. You, so there are its fast in southern in one of our co workers, Joe Mccormick on for thinking, is a bit of a scholar. This kind of stuff, so we we usually again with him hunters before you do something Joe of your listening we're doing their best

We will ask for your help retroactively right, yeah, we'll just switch in the calendar, so that this comes out on a different day. There's there's this other, I assume so One idea, the idea that it is based on an earlier quotes pagan festival. There's this and I, which you also here, that it is a purely christian tradition, that this is. That this is a solely original Chris, thing and then you'll see you you'll, see different view arguing this, I would say, with Varying levels of persuasiveness, however, at this point, the The secular truth of the matter is that the historians and researchers are bearing that out their finding their finding an evolution. Gas and resolution is a good way to put it

This is the same thing we found when we were researching Christmas, how it just these these holidays and celebrate worry feasts That really do seem to have evolved over time as religions, religions and started meeting each other in the world as sure as various face started growing and it kind of just became. Ok will hear these set days or we can celebrate the thing that we need to celebrate and wool focus it around this day, because we all kind of already had these days, just as everybody had not the same calendar, but they looking at the same moon right right, everybody's going, you the same sign where it's going and how do things changing in the world during cycles? Very interesting, well and also the new, no no it occurs to me- mad that maybe evolved is alluded to for sure, but there is there is this. I think doubly inspiring

ten. Your struggle that the entire human species has been doing since we got into this counting thing trying to remember the past, and when things happened such that we can predict when things will occur again, equinoxes right, they. So much of our early knowledge is astronomical. Yet I there's there's this. When are we going to mention that it was a tradition based on the pre existing jewish pass over and here's something throws a little bit assault or shade. We preferred slang is on the idea of this Anglos. In God is the word for you're in most non english languages, is based on the past skull the p a as c h, a l word. Latin Greek, so it doesn't. It

doesn't seem as likely in other countries. Now, of course, this. This linguistic pattern doesn't give us a clear origin point yet for now, Before the the timing of the celebration right yeah, you there people who get degrees based very closely in just studying route. Words like that in Greenland words they go back and trying to analyze these ancient text. So don't take it from Ben and eye of just the things we have observed and researched. So when, when we talk about this stuff or integrity, Easter, one of the things that we have to talk about the various symbols that in times have become associated with this right Hap, one of

you ve heard, and I remember hearing this term first from song. I think it was like a schoolyard song that we used to sing in pre school, about hot cross buns and according to this, both dates in meanings of religious and other festivals, hot cross bonds that you should be kept specifically for good Friday with the symbolism three of the cross, although its thought that the hot crossbones originated prior, you know before, could mean mainstream christian times. I get this Megan times the bun represents the moon and its four quarters. That's what that's the idea of a hot cross banzai you ve got one and then this I think the pictures I've seen or have a white cross on the centre of its living together for quadrants stages of the moon. Yes, yes, with which is fastened to me, because I had no idea. That was true that the custom there,

verily tracing back to win people who worshipped Zeus would make a kick in the form of a bull with across upon it to represent its horns. That's gonna be more, the golden it sounds you have, you ever tried to shape something and bake it, not without some kind of mould. Low colonel I've tried and failed multiple times. I've made just gingerbread about nations there, there's some things that release. This guy was not meant to Hake Embassy Levin bread to right. Yes, yes, I saw this. The thing is a high cross by now, was a talisman of sorts right. Unless this fasting people would hang buns from their kitchen ceilings to protect their household from evil for the rest of the year, Amis yeah and you were baked so much that there they didn't really get mouldy as much

Europe. Is Ireland? Thinking right, you think in so you hang these pieces of bread, a mould in your house, has it funky smelled it's hard to place? till you lay look over your oh man that Green studies, Robin are good. Precious mould now Another thing we were on the subject of food, there's typically easter feast of some sort can be super elaborate. It can change the pale which country you go too often. People will have an Easter ham. Friends evidence does my family, we hope We are always gotta. Honey makes him. Oh wow such a middle class way kid. What is were waving yourself up? I just I can see. I could see my feet: and I'm going to get our our him for Easter. What kind of sides did you guys make? We didn't cook man? Yes, sides rightly made him

It seems that no seriously man, don't don't be yourself up over that I think feast in general are amazing things I'm down for first, absolutely, not that I did not love that sugar voting on that him only sounds good. I mean hungry thinking about it and an let's You know while we're while we're taking on food. Let's get to the big one rate: the east rags, whites, Y yeah. Even even as a child of quite a young age, I'm sure wasn't the only one sure a listeners we're safe, so wait, although we are celebrating this very much day for the most important person or the Son of God. I theirs. Also an anthropomorphic rabbit that lays eggs, don't think about. It then

privacy is a vivid memories, running around my the churchyard Fambly Georgia and finding Easter eggs as a kid, a vivid memories of that and how much fun I had yet. A straight answer really find you. He was also at school and it gets. People also gets people to us we see it the day if there you know, if you're not into the more the if system by right, then it gets people to children at least to associate the day with a lot of fun, yeah, really good stuff exactly and start learning, As you know, there lie perfect idea. Here is one of the course things about this, the what's that we found this whole dying of Easter Eggs thing isn't something that was come up with, for you know to sell more die Originally, this is an Angelina thing into you know that sounds bad, but a lot of the times traditions that we found some

missions in modern way, have some kind of profit motive behind them, some of the ones that we ve looked at rats really nice to know this and at least originally wasn't. So if you, if you go way back to ancient times when the Egyptian, Persians were running around well: Egyptians in Persians in ancient times these to exchange died, eggs with friends, ok, and it was in Mesopotamia that Christians first gave eggs to their friends at Easter to remind them of the resurrection of Jesus. As a little token of remembrance, ok, makes sense that that comes from the other rollin person. So all the way back to Mesopotamia. There is a modern industry now round. Eyed eggs via there was also a practice there. It's it's interesting, too because you know, and egg is symbolically, is very much a symbol of fertility. Don't you think how yeah so

trees ago when Lent ended on Easter Sunday, it became tradition for people to give these decorated. Eggs is presence to their friends and servants right. We're time. This tradition eyes continued and there- there are some eastern European, regions, particularly in Ukraine, where people are known for their beautiful. An inch it elaborate or mate egg designs ripe. Oh yeah, it's just beautiful, looking stuff there. It is weird Ben to me that an egg that you would use to die they invite a store and then use the diver Easter. It's supposed to be a symbol of fertility, but really it's a perfect symbol of infertility, because it's the result of not being fertilizer Well, I guess you re. I never thought about that if it were actually the fertility the reaching in there and you have to take it back and give it to Mama Chicken

side. No, have you ever heard balloon? No, sir, balloon is this It's its it's it's in the Philippines. It would only held AG where its They fertilize egg cricket, and you know when you buy a crack open. The shell in you eat up. The embryo is thanks man. No worries me. I had one: did you really here, you run a business. You have questions right now. So what exactly does the new name me? How can I help my employees feel safe when they come back to the office I have a small business. How can I get somebody to help me right now?

Higher radio apple pie CAS or wherever you listened upon, guess was,

any good. I'm not even no. That's for sure and I don't know how much of that is just a reaction to texture sure sure, it has nothing to do with anything except the check it out If you haven't heard of that already side note, it is. Additionally, balloon is traditionally deserted, aphrodisiac. I don't know why. I cannot speak for the results it. Maybe it's Conway watching films, where you're just so freaked out quietly experience you seek forget, you're nervous system gives you the fighter flight Romeo and this so the tradition of giving eggs to free friends and associates toward the end of lent, is according to slopes, we looked into this eggs were one of the foods for, during a land so Easter in Eastern I was like a special treat, a reward of sorts and

EL, the candy, Easter eggs of the modern times I go back to another. Another more serious purpose in early Christianity, when hard boiled eggs were died, read in memory of blood of Jesus Christ, blood and given children again to help to preserve their health. Well, ok! Just You could get a hot cross binding the house in egg for the kid and at that, that again, all of these things very a little bit across cultures. There also we ve talked about some trick. So let's talk about some traditional activities, right yeah, so we talked The sunrise services held outside, let's see, what stroll around the world Shelly. I will attend over to Bulgaria in Bulgaria. People don't hide eggs, they are big fight, spin,

sounds like fun and like a lot of work, for me dad in the morning, or you know later that evening, when you gotta clean everything up yeah. So here is the thing Whoever comes out of the game with an unbroken egg is the winner seemed to be the most successful member in the family for the coming year omen are, and what is the opposite of an omen, the opposite You can have a good old. You have good omen again. Then it's a good omen for the family for that family member in another tradition, the all this in the family was take the faces of the children and then rub them with the first read egg she's colored,

and that will symbolise her wish that they have rosy cheeks, health and strength and Mexico we had on over the Mexico. Then we find that the children will smash traditional smash eggs over each other's heads in the week before lent. These eggs are filled with a small pieces of paper rather than the raw egg So that's very nice again, like people thinking about moment at Eu Level in Germany, eggs or died green on Monday Thursday. Yeah. This is always between nine. The nineteenth of March and the twenty second of April I could be on different dazed,

on the grid going or Julian calendar use. It's the right, those the Thursday before Easter and commemorates the last supper of Jesus Christ, and it's called Monday Thursday, because also commemorates the washing of the feet and on you in deal a why Emma you indeed Yes, yes, I like- and this is something that is bigger in other countries- is not the biggest thing in the United States, at least in Greece, there's a public procession, Easter Parade and these red eggs or tap together. While people have a call and response chance in the? U S, there are some parades. The this being the one at Atlantic City and the best one may be being the one in New York, which is often how it goes operate even further. Anyone thirty awesome

and in England there's a thing called the Hare pie scramble and bottle kicking, ok that some fun now what's the story. And will the story goes that a woman was saved by here running across the path of a bull, so that's kind of interesting in possibly symbolic on Easter Mun on Easter Monday, hundreds of years ago. Now as a token of our appreciation, she bequeathed a piece of land to the rector and its board. To know that He saw a condition for this. The giving of the land was that the rector have a hare pie made a J r E made me tribute to all the parishioners, together with a large quantity of ale every year, for a feast I mean that sounds cool. I would be so down for that. Hair pie, illegals, horrible right, yes, but it it's fortune for us- meant that it brings us to a one of

the biggest characters for this time of the year, and that is the Easter rabbit. The Easter Bunny the Easter Bunny, yes, yeah sounds like long time, favorite years, yeah yeah big fan I had. I think I have a stuffed bunny, the large stuff. Did you ever see that website, where it's just pictures of scary, looking Easter Bunny, I have a feeling that that's it yeah really never going back to the Euro. I go back there just check it out. I saw this creature also not mentioned in this form in a biblical text, but rabbits like eggs are powerful symbols traditionally of fertility and new life, and and therefore, Easter ceremony. I know this. This Easter bunny, like Santa Claus, Saint Nick, has become a popular children's character.

The year round. Really you can see Easter Bunny. I don't know it's enough in this light. I still don't it's not weird for there to be an east bunny sketch on your favorite comedy show absolutely no, but it could be that this is sort of a historical mistake. Slopes tells us that all manner of rabbits are said to lay eggs on Easter Day, say hello. What yeah do you tell me? The rabbits lay eggs are said to be very careful language there. That's like the pursuit of happiness hold at dark. Ok continued. I saw the The hare always seen progression times associate with fertility. The returning spring and similar to the study, the the Groundhog shadow on Groundhog dagger movements of the head

it was originally was. A hare movements of the hair were us seeing as portents. Possibly omens, ways to figure out what would be happening in the coming year, so the hair and self is hares and rabbits are often confused. Here's a bunnies and a hair is a larger version with with some distinct differences there, their different animals than not synonyms awesome bites. The Easter bunny is, is the is the? U S goes right. He had a cute little happy happy bunny, yeah. So he shows up in the sixteenth century literature as a deliverer of eggs in his way in spring time: Saint Nicholas, bent on regional rewarding the good would give out his candy in the special tree in the shoes and there all kinds of traditions with that rather

We'll Bunny then goes around and gives out colored eggs, but only to the good kids Higgs her only ones Cole eggs. I guess I don't know I've. Never. I guess I was that battery kid I soiled eggs. Ah! unfair when you never known to crack and open manner? That would ruin a child's spring yet cruel fortune. But so this this sum Easter, Bunny stuff. This is German in origin and on waiting back to kind of what's the venerable Betty was saying, hairs were sacred to the different festivals and arguably to this festival of the Goddess Easter, which again still a subject of debate for people, but at some point the hair was replaced by the rabbits and that's because, while common conjectures, because

their hard to tell apart racist. Well, we'll! Just? U way we got a rather that's fine and I can imagine and a pension you're trying to get your Easter celebration, ready, Nobody'Ll notes or have now nobody lives. So here is the. I guess it's time for us to say secret, which we ve talked about His- is similar to some the stuff we sought, Christmas and some of whose honour Halloween episode, and that is modern day Easter celebrations or a kind of religious secretive way. What's religious, secretive that's kind of what I was mentioning earlier when it's different religions bar from one another or faiths, borrowing for one other or a kind of congealing into one one particular celebration on one particular holiday or one particular belief-

kind of like how we ve taught your folks saints in earlier episodes. We add. New experiences had was sensible and emotional and writers, and maybe more recent More recent example of religious in criticism would be the followers Santa birthday the in the Southwest United States of this is a folks saint, who is so a female page rain of death nice and not you're, not necessarily an evil or a bad thing at all, passing right as the Spirit go right so you. Religions, like people, do not exist in a vacuum and least historically end, and so, although this all, although from ours perspective right, humans lit a very short amount of time in comparison to the amount of time. Species around or even civilization. So It may seem that night,

of these things that we see every year there are long held, traditions are changing, but the truth is that over time they do seem to change they adapt to other cultures. It differ practices or traditions take hold. This is something that has kindly happened with Easter eggs and with the rabbit yeah. Exactly you look back to those early christian times to see the the spring fertility Rights in rituals that you bring in with the Easter eggs like we said the eggs, the rabbits the hairs allotted this goes back to that stuff.
