Where did our most cherished Easter traditions come from — and is it too late to send them back? The author of the hilarious, controversial The Trouble with Christmas branches out, turning over every egg (and not a few rocks) to reveal the weird history behind Christianity's holiest holiday. Packed with rollicking humor and little-known facts, this talk reveals the origins of everything from egg-rolling to the Easter parade and examines the age-old conflicts between the Christian and lusty pagan sides of the holiday. This fast-paced illustrated presentation concludes with a side-by-side comparison of the resurrection accounts in the four gospels.
