Easter

"...do not inquire after their gods, saying, 'How did these nations serve their gods? I also will do likewise.' You shall not worship the LORD your God in that way; for every abomination to the LORD which He hates they have done to their gods" (Deuteronomy 12:30-31).

With many of its odd and unexplained customs tracing back to ancient fertility rites of the pagan goddess Astarte, the holiday of Easter is not only unbiblical—it is also filled with things God hates. Learn why followers of Christ don't celebrate the day by checking out the resources below.
