This is the time of year when we get a lot of memes about how Easter is a warmed-over pagan holiday. Everything from the name “Easter” to the use of eggs and rabbits is a claimed to be connected to a pagan fertility goddess.

Lewis’s idea of the “good dreams” of the pagans and why Christians buy into these misrepresentations of their own history.
