In this episode I explore the multifaceted origins and contemporary traditions of Easter. I trace the holiday's roots from pre-Christian spring festivals and their fertility symbols to the Jewish Passover and the core Christian belief in Jesus' resurrection. The episode investigates the historical development of Easter's date and the assimilation of cultural customs, such as the Easter Bunny and eggs. It further examines modern American Easter celebrations, focusing on the popularity and commercial impact of traditional candies like Peeps and chocolate eggs. Ultimately, I reflects on personal Easter experiences, emphasizing the significance of family, faith, and the central message of Christ's triumph over death.
