that’s the word origin!
Passover is good too!
Jn 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Do we have to eat the lamb?
Should it not be obvious that the Catholic church invented its own form of False Christianity (which includes all these things)? So what you are doing daily is promoting a false religion, not Bible Christianity.
Interesting, today I realized that I am not Catholic. With that in mind:
I'm more interesting in learning why they feel the need to make the pattern of the cross before just about everything they do. I think they've taken the cross way too far. It is the symbol of Jesus suffering and death. That man of his time saw fit to remove him so he couldn't take authority over them.
Also why do they kiss the altar and the bible. Those are objects, not people.
Also why is the Eucharist ordinance so long and involved. Jesus didn't have such an ordinance as that. It's so lengthy that it seems obsessive compulsive in nature.
Why do they pray to Mary. Mary isn't God. And God is a Jealous God. In his words, there is no other God beside him.
And these are some of the reasons I realized that I'm not Catholic.
yes Mary is not God
we pray to God thru their intercession
But God hears and grants the prayers
Like Esther of old
there are two parts to the Eucharist one is the sacrifice and sacrament the other is readings of scripture with instruction

Catholicism has created so much extraneous stuff -- rituals, garb, etc. -- that it bears no resemblance to NT Scripture. It reminds me of the Old Testament religion with all its add-ons. BTW, don't forget all the ornate, expensive cathedrals built with the money of the laity, who are often poor..

Yes I noticed that the Catholic Mass is weighed down by so much excessive talk that appears to entertain that God might listen to them that they think they might be heard. I was watching it for the Bible discussion really. I kinda see this when they do their Mass:
Matthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions as the heathen do, for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
But instead of repetition it's super lengthy and filled with differences. But the end means is the same.
But temples and church buildings must be built. And that money should come from the people, rich or poor.

bc Emperor Constantine could not crush nascent Christianity, so he blended it in with the Cult of Sol Invictus, and "Catholicism" was the result

Easter for christians is not from east to west. It is teh celebration of Jesus resurrection.
but Easter gets its title from the celebration of Astaroth or any of her names in other cultures around Easter time. But it matters not to me. A name is a name, but our church now celebrates resurrectio0n Sunday due to the rise of pagan influence in our region.
The first Christians gathered on the first day of the week at sunrise to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus. Does not the sun do this? . The heavens glorify the Lord.

Well the sun rises at sunrise- that is not rocket science. but that has nothing to do with the Resurrection of the Lord! People spend too much time looking for hidden meanings all around the bible when the plain message is enough to keep us occupied for ten lifetimes!!!!
Well, I think what you are thinking of as pagan really rises from a dechristianized culture. Paganism is indigenous religions.
The plain message is written in the heavens you can continue to ignore it but the first Christians didn't.
Where does it say that? I know the disciples were assembled on the Sunday of the Resurrection for fear of the Jews.
John 20:19 "Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you."
Also, Jesus did not ask us to memorialize the Resurrection. He asked us to remember His death through communion.

You think what I think?????? WOW! I know what paganism is. And paganism was the indigenous religions of America before Europe Christianized the land.

And what is that plain message written in the heavens? I cannot ignore what I do not know.
