Easter/Resurrection happens 3 days after Passover, and it changes every year. Sometimes it's near Spring Equinox but usually it's not. It can be anywhere from late March to late April. It depends on Passover. But Spring Equinox is always March 20th or 21st. So Resurrection has pretty much nothing to do with Spring Equinox.
Christmas is also the same. The 25th of December is not Winter Solstice, which is December 21st. If they really wanted it to be associated with the Solstice they'd put it on the 21st. Same with Easter, it would always be March 20th or 21st, but it's not, it changes every year based on Passover.
We don't really know when Christ was born but we just decided to put it where hope and celebration would be most wanted and welcome, during the cold, dark winter months.
Thank you! I didn’t think it was some grand conspiracy, I just felt it was more a product of assimilating pagans into Christianity almost 2000 years ago and on.
The Catholic religion does not use pagan symbols and rituals.
Have a talk with a Jehova’s witness, he (or she) will give you the complete list!
There are actually quite a few shared aspects between Paganism and Catholicism and it's a fun rabbit hole
Hell don’t the major holidays of both happen around the solstices?
