Just because you can'[t see it splashed on the front doesn't mean it's not there! Is it a Christian thing anyway? Not really, it's a much earlier pagan festival...nothing to do with Satanism, as one poster hinted.
But who worries about facts these days anyway? I'm glad to see the Christians promoting the Easter festival of rebirth and fertility, which is why it was chosen by the early church to mark the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.
Save us from the Borg!  :13:

I can't find a Cadbury's egg with the word Easter on it, so they have dropped the word

[Karen4]

Incidentally, Cadburys haven't dropped the word "Easter" at all....it's amazing how many people believe the nonsense they read on the internet an in the papers without checking the facts.

[Jo-JoB]

It's not really a Christian festival, but is much older, and was adopted by the early church in order to assimilate the pagans into Christianity.....it's that Borg move again!

Aren't they all! Most holidays are just a mish mash of pagan and christian festivals. Even Christmas isn't Christian

I have already bought chocolate bunnies for my grand-children. Suppose the PC appeasers will stop them being called Easter Bunnies !

Look on the bright side, I have seen packets of Easter Crackers for sale , similar to Christmas crackers . I may buy some cos they have the word Easter !  :57: 

[sallyb]

Cadbury have only dropped the word Easter to appease the Muslims, I shan't be buying Cadbury again

[Trev]

Well us Satanic worshippers have Walpurgis night, Halloween, solstices and equinoxes, but never get paid for them....life is just so unfair :91:

Well I like Easter, we get two days paid leave, so you heathens leave us Christians alone :38: If gov.uk get to here all this, they'll do away with Easter :72: Godelpusandsavus :16:

[tandas]

As long as they're made from chocolate and I can eat them who cares what they call them.

[Greggers]

The Church should stick to what they are best at............kiddie fiddling, child molestation. They should have no say in politics either.

[Trev]

Waste of money...or waste of F***** money....all the same really.

The church, the press & the PM really have nothing better to do than waste time on drivel like this  :34:

It's not really a Christian festival, but is much older, and was adopted by the early church in order to assimilate the pagans into Christianity.....it's that Borg move again!

I wonder what the PC brigade would say if Easter was done away with altogether, including the paid holidays that go with it :72:

[Wilf and Moira]
