the Lamb of God.  And another author has



             said that Easter is not only a synonym for



             Passover but also a descriptive word revealing



             the New Testament fulfillment of Passover



             in Christ's death, burial, and resurrection —



             and I say Amen to that!




                    Let's  go  back  to  200  years  before



             Constantine.  Have  we  not  heard  that


             Constantine invented Easter?  Let's go back




             200 years before Constantine reigned.  Let's


             go back before the Nicene Council and the




             Nicene Creed of 325 AD.  Let's go back a


             few hundred years before that and consider



             what we find in church history.  Easter is not



             a Catholic holiday.  It was observed before



             the  Catholic  Church  was  even  conceived.
