Do You Celebrate Easter The Christian Way?

[agrudis]

As in the whole Holy Week and resurrection and what-not.

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

I go to family's place and eat. All I see it as is a big family gathering with lots of good food. Not to mention jellybeans.

[ff7+ff10 gurl 100]

Considering im not Christian, I'd say no.

[Psychotic]

Yes. I find a random hippie, nail him to a cross and leave him to die. I then conduct all sorts of jolly experiments on him with my main man Igor, the purpose of which is to make him come back to life the next Sunday. Only one has ever come back from the dead, and he seems none the worse for wear. You may know him as "Meat Puppet".

[Jess]

In a nutshell, no. :bigsmile:

[Shauna]

Well...


...no. :)

[faster skating penguin]

i don't see what religion has to do with easter

this thread is faulty

[Anaisa]

No, I celebrate my Easter the fun way.

[Yamaneko]

No, but I think my mom does (goes to church).

[Leeza]

The only way I celebrate Easter is with chocolate and a lot of hard-boiled egg sandwiches. :cat:

...and sometimes visit the in-laws who are devote Catholics and who do celebrate Easter in the Christian way.

[Xaven]

Not anymore, no.

[Bowser]

I never did, and I never will. I just eat candy, and sometimes go to my grandmother's house. :D

[Faris]

There's a Christian way? Do tell.

[agrudis]

Too boring.

[Yuffie514]

i use to do the egg-hunt thing when i was younger, but Easter just passes by like another day now. i don't remember celebrating it the religious way either.

[~SapphireStar~]

Use to, but cause Ive moved away from home I no longer go to church or do anything Catholic, except pray.

[Rye]

I celebrate it by eating too much candy and boiling and colouring eggs! :D

[Freya]

Oh my gosh there's a relgious reason behind Easter!:eek: I thought it was just a time when a giant mutant bunny hid his death eggs in your yard. Man i missed so much.

[rubah]

We've never done the whole end of lent thing (or the beginning of lent either) but it's always the day of the Resurrection for me.

[Shoeberto]

My mom's side of the family, which is primarily catholic, have always celebrated it completely, but my immediate family has never really celebrated it for its religious purpose, to my memory.

[XxSephirothxX]

Considering I didn't even know exactly what entailed celebrating Easter the "Christian Way," the answer is a resounding no. :p I've done the egg decorating and hiding and the mass-consuming of chocolate and other candy, but that's about it.

[Zeromus_X]

Does anyone really celebrate a holiday it was meant to be celebrated anymore anyway? I heard that the Easter we celebrate was a Pagan holiday in the first place, anyway. :cat:

[Shlup]

Our church has a celebration in the park that we go to, then we go home and open our Easter baskets (yes, I still get Easter baskets; one from my mom, my stepmom, and my fiance's mom), then have dinner and all that.

[kikimm]

I eat a lot of chocolate. Surely that's Christian!

[Miriel]

My family does and I sorta just go with it cause, somehow, it's never the right time to let my Dad (who is a minister) know that I'm not exactly Christian.

[starseeker]

My Catholic parents make me. Two masses in three days is evil.

[Cid]

I'm not exactly sure what the Christian way might be.

[nik0tine]

I don't even think Christians celebrate it the Christian way.

[Meat Puppet]

The closest I get to celebrating easter is eating those spicy rolls, I guess.

[Despotus]

Nope, for me it's (or it used to be) just the bunnies, baskets, and coloring eggs. My father is a pretty devout Catholic, and he does go to Mass and do all of the rituals that I'm not too familiar with. In fact, since he works in the Catholic church in my hometown, I'm pretty sure he does even more than most. :D

[Ki Ki]

I just eat alot of those marshmallow/chocolate eggs! Those are the best. T_T

[bipper]

Yes - of course I do. I don't get too crazy on lent and such, but I look back on the crucifiction and ressurection and reflect.

I also celebrate with my family, which is above all else, the most sacred human bond to God. That count?

Bipper

[Ballistix Man]

No. I celebrate Easter the way I would Cristmas. I sit arond and rest.

['eMeRaLdFaYe']

Yes, I do celebrate Easter the Christian Way. I am a devout Catholic and I always reflect on Christ's Resurrection and such. I go to Mass and pray.. but I do admit that some Christians are quite ignorant or too lazy to go to mass, but what the heck, they can do what they want... :D

[SoulTaker*]

If the Christian way is getting dressed up on sunday morning going to church and then hitting up Denny's afterwards, then yes.

[Resha]

Yes I eat lots of Kinder Surprises

[Avathar]

I'm not a Christian, really, so:eep: Nope.:love:
