Easter: A Tradition of Men

Is Easter a biblical observance or a tradition of men? In this study from Galatians 4:9-11, we trace the extra-biblical origins of the Lenten season and Easter Sunday — from pagan festivals and Teutonic goddesses to their absorption into Roman Catholicism — and examine what the Bible actually says (and doesn't say) about observing it as a religious holiday. We also consider the irony that many who celebrate Christ's resurrection once a year overlook the weekly observance that Scripture actually commands.
