Halmark's marketing, to sell more cards
chocolate eggs & bunnies
food for a BBQ, booze, churches have a/several huge masses, passing the donor plate...
if it is 100% legitimate ?
why
isn't Easter on the same day ? or 'same week even' every year ?,
it's bounced around a lot, weeks different from years to year
& it (the real date, day he was actually crucified) doesn't have to be a Friday,
to be the actual date, would vary or actual Easter/resurection have to be a Sunday either
(food for thought)
that's organized religion, it's not even recognized traditionally, the same
of what it was...
& Good Friday should always bee on the exact same day he was crucified,
not necessarily a Friday either...
Eggs & a Bunny 
how did they come up with that stuff ?
I had fun with that stuff, with the kids though...
Easter's origins;
why isn't the exact day/'date' he was resurrected ?
it's 2nd century origins, was org. (wasn't Sunday)
not even immediately after it happened, it's a century later as a tradition
& it was then org. was the 1st day of the week of Jewish Sabbath
not being Jewish not sure of that exact day/date was either, probably varies too
(more food for thought) reflection on a day like today...
that college Theology class is paying off...
it's drifted so far way away from the original meaning, for way, way too long
Have a Great Good Friday & a Happy Easter
