message: #Oppose Whatever people do at Easter, the bottom line is that Easter is a Christian feast first and foremost. All the other stuff is secondary. Dave 18:55, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Because the Catholic Encyclopedia has no problem making it known that Easter and its customs are of Pagan origin I don't see a problem with it here.
: All the CE article shows is that the term Easter is possibly derived from a pre-Christian term and that some places contain customs which may have a pagan origin.  The holiday itself, though, is clearly a Christian holiday derived from a Jewish one.  This is a perennial red herring that comes up in the Easter article and has been dealt with repeatedly.  It's honestly something of a joke to try to push these theories, which are generally put forward only by certain small sectors of anti-Christian ideology.  The overwhelming number of secular historians, however, agree with their Christian counterparts regarding the facts of Easter's historical origins.  71.245.4.129 02:12, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That Easter symbolism might derive from pagan, animist, monist, or any other non-Christian traditions is irrelelvant.  The primary meaning is still the holiday and other terms (e.g., Easter bunny, Easter egg) are secondary and derive their name and significance from the holiday whether or not they have pre-Christian origins. —  AjaxSmack    02:38, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

text: I'm having a real problem with this. I agree that all the other (non-christian) aspects of easter have a place in Wikipedia. However I strongly feel that the article entitled Easter should be an article on the Christian festival. Have a section at the end called "Other meanings of Easter" or something.

replies: text: I think that for editing content within the Easter article, discussions on Easter (disambiguation) are not all that useful.  It is like discussing the content of George W. Bush on the Bush disambiguation page.  Neier 12:31, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it be moved. It is hoped that the proponent of this moved will not be disheartened and will proceed to write (or expand) an article about the secular/pagan aspects of Easter to complement the existing article about the Christian festival. --Stemonitis 17:38, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
