Easter for you, Easter on the Gold Coast

Everyone views Easter from differing perspectives, for me it’s about spending that extra time with my family, Easter eggs and hot cross buns, for many others it’s the traditional religious aspects.  How did Easter begin?  Easter is derived from paganism, as with most of the celebrations of the churches.  Before Christianity there was paganism, to gain domination over their citizens they combined pagan gods and ways of life and changed it’s name, then went on a world wide mission to get others to do the same.
