Easter’s Pagan Origin: Why Christians Must Break Free from Babylon’s Lies

✦ Easter: A Pagan Holiday Cloaked in Christianity

Many Christians today unknowingly celebrate a festival rooted not in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, but in Babylonian idolatry and occult worship. Easter, as we know it, is not found in the Bible in connection with Christ’s resurrection. Instead, its origins trace back to the goddess Ishtar—pronounced just like “Easter.”

✦ The Pagan Story Behind Easter

Ishtar, also known as Semiramis, was the wife and mother of Nimrod, a mighty hunter mentioned in Genesis 10:8-10. After Nimrod’s death, Semiramis claimed he had become the sun god, Baal, and that she was miraculously impregnated by his rays. She gave birth to Tammuz, believed to be a god-reincarnate.

Tammuz was killed by a wild boar, and the mourning of his death led to forty days of fasting and sorrow, known today as Lent—a practice not found anywhere in Scripture.

📖 “The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven…” — Jeremiah 7:18

This queen of heaven is the same Ishtar, and the sacred cakes made for her have evolved into hot cross buns, marked with a “T” for Tammuz.

✦ Rabbits and Eggs: Fertility Symbols

Ishtar was the goddess of fertility, hence the rabbit—known for rapid reproduction—and the egg, symbolizing new life and goddess rebirth. According to Babylonian myth, Ishtar’s egg landed in the Euphrates River during the first full moon after the spring equinox. This is why Easter’s date is determined not by Passover but by astrological timing—pagan lunar cycles.

✦ Sunrise Services: Modern Sun Worship

What about sunrise services? These may seem like a beautiful way to honor the resurrection, but their true origin lies in sun worship.

📖 “...and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD... were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.” — Ezekiel 8:16

God called these abominations. Churches holding Easter sunrise services are unknowingly engaging in a practice that mimics the ancient worship of Baal, the sun god.

✦ The Demonic Manifestation of Pagan Practices

Engaging in pagan-rooted traditions—especially knowingly—opens spiritual gateways for demonic influence.

Families who decorate eggs or tell rabbit stories unknowingly honor fertility gods and offer spiritual homage to Ishtar.
Sunrise services, if not carefully rooted in biblical truth, mirror Baal worship and can provoke spiritual confusion or oppression.
Ancestral participation in these rituals—like preparing cakes for the Queen of Heaven (Jer. 7)—can activate generational curses, emotional turmoil, spiritual apathy, and even mental torment or physical ailments, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:15-68.

✦ Jesus and the True Passover

The resurrection of Jesus Christ should be celebrated during Passover, as He is our Passover Lamb (1 Corinthians 5:7). The early Church did not observe Easter as we know it today. The term “Easter” in Acts 12:4 (KJV) is a mistranslation of the word Pascha, which refers to the Passover, not the pagan festival.

📖 “Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.” — 1 Corinthians 5:7

✦ The Danger of Mixing Holy with Profane

📖 “What concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?” — 2 Corinthians 6:15

By blending pagan rituals with the worship of Christ, we grieve the Holy Spirit and bring ourselves under spiritual oppression. Even well-meaning Christians who participate ignorantly can experience spiritual blockage, demonic torment, and confusion.

📖 “Be not partakers with them... have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” — Ephesians 5:7-11

✦ Come Out from Among Them

God calls His people to separate from Babylon and its seductive spiritual practices:

📖 “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” — Revelation 18:4

This is a time of purification. God is calling His Church to repentance and truth.

✦ How to Be Free

If you or your ancestors have participated in Easter rituals—sunrise services, Lent fasting, Easter egg hunts, or cakes to the queen of heaven—you must repent and renounce these practices.

🔹 Break the generational curses.
🔹 Use anointed oil and speak deliverance prayers.
🔹 Pray the blood of Jesus over your household.
🔹 Remove all pagan items from your home.
🔹 Get deliverance ministry help if needed.

✦ Final Call to Action

✝️ Jesus came to set the captives free—not to blend with Babylonian mystery religions.

📖 “God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.” — John 4:24
