Condición: New.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Real History of Easter (Full Breakdown) takes readers on a fascinating journey through the origins, evolution, and meaning of one of the world's most enduring holidays. Far more than just chocolate bunnies and colorful eggs, Easter is a layered celebration that blends religious devotion, cultural tradition, and centuries of historical adaptation. From the resurrection of Jesus Christ to ancient springtime festivals, this book untangles fact from myth and explores how Easter has been celebrated around the globe.Beginning with the crucifixion and resurrection story central to Christianity, the book examines the Gospel accounts, theological interpretations, and early Christian communities' observances. It traces Easter's Jewish roots, including its connection to Passover and the symbolism of sacrifice and redemption, before exploring how early debates-like the Quartodeciman controversy and the Council of Nicaea-shaped the way the holiday is timed and observed. Readers will gain a clear understanding of why Easter's date shifts each year, why Western and Eastern Christian traditions differ, and how these historical decisions continue to influence celebrations today.Beyond theology, the book delves into pre-Christian spring festivals, the supposed goddess Eostre, and the symbolism of eggs, rabbits, and fertility in both pagan and Christian contexts. It separates popular myths from historical fact, explaining how customs like the Easter Bunny, egg hunts, and chocolate giving evolved from folklore, cultural adaptation, and commercialization. From hot cross buns and sunrise services to modern media portrayals, readers will discover how traditions transformed across Europe, North America, and Eastern Orthodox communities.The book also addresses contemporary questions: Is Easter really a pagan holiday? Did Christians "steal" traditions? How have commercialization and media reshaped the holiday? And what does Easter mean in today's world of declining religious participation and growing secular celebration? With detailed appendices, key terms, timelines, and a curated list of sources for further reading, The Real History of Easter is an essential guide for anyone curious about the holiday's rich, complex history and enduring cultural significance. Whether you celebrate Easter for faith, family, or fun, this book will deepen your understanding and give you a new appreciation for why the holiday continues to captivate the world.
