Easter, Christmas ... both ancient pagan festivals co-opted by the
Christians and given an invented meaning under their ideology, for their
own propaganda purposes.
Just like they took a lot of existing pagan deities (e.g. in Celtic lands)
and reinvented them as “saints”.
But I suggest that the point should never have been under debate here,
because it has nothing to do with C. (C code that calculates the date
of Easter is topical here; debates about holidays being co-opted from
pagan religions are not.)
