Overview
Why does the date of Easter change every year? Is there any connection between spring and Passover? If Jesus was crucified during Passover Sunday, why does Easter come before Passover sometimes? What is the relation between Bunnies and Easter or eggs and Easter? Why do Japanese celebrate a secular Vernal Equinox Day? The author has given answers to these questions, based on his research on the origin of spring celebration in different ancient civilizations. For instance, this book explains why gaps between stone pillars in Stonehenge pointed toward the direction of sunrise on the vernal equinox. The author also has presented his discovery on the origin of the Hebrew calendar and a new interpretation of the meaning of the Lord's Passover. His interpretation is potentially controversial since he has given a completely different meaning to the Israelites' Exodus from Egypt. This book will be entertaining and intellectually stimulating for people of all ages and readers of general interest. The author also believes this book might be especially attractive to rationalists and other open-minded people.
