Is Easter just a repackaged pagan festival? Claims that Christianity "copied" ancient myths—like those of Eostre or Ishtar—are everywhere, but how credible are they?
In this video, I examine the popular theory that Easter has pagan origins and show why it's historically and logically flawed. From the misuse of Bede’s writings to etymological errors and modern internet myth-making, we unpack how these claims collapse under scrutiny. Along the way, I explore how Christianity’s real roots in Jewish Passover set it apart from pagan mythology and why ancient Rome found Christianity so radically different—and offensive—that they violently opposed it. Spoiler: this isn’t about bunnies and fertility goddesses. It’s about history, facts, and faith.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
