Ēostre Or Easter?
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Def a conversation starter, my friend! 🤯 And you’re right—Easter does take its name from Ēostre, a springtime fertility goddess, and yeah…eggs and bunnies aren’t exactly mentioned in the Gospels. 😂 That said, seeing the conversation below on the timing of Easter, it is actually based on Passover, which follows a Hebrew lunar calendar—so it\'s tied more to Jewish tradition than to pagan holidays.
And an interesting bit of history: when missionaries like Patrick, Columba, and Aidan brought Christianity to places like Ireland, the Picts, etc., they didn’t erase the local culture. They found ways to share the Gospel that connected with what people already knew. That approach actually worked. Earlier efforts, like Ninian’s, tried to copy the Roman way—top-down, forceful—and they didn’t last.
So it’s kind of a mix. Layers on layers...nuance...as is often the case in life. Just figured I\'d add some historical flair to the conversation, my friend. Happy Easter! 🐣😉

Ēostre Or Easter?

I suppose it has to be SOME date - Christmas and Easter. Easter calculated each year as Soren says.

Even the date is hard to place the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal Equinox what type of calendar is that? A fun write and so right.

Do You Believe Katy Perry Went To Space?
Tristan Robert Lange said:
At least they didn\'t go up in SpaceX 💥 🤣 Ah...the rich and famous. That\'s what it really has to do with. Anyone with money can pay to go up. They had it and did. Publicity stunt. There\'s really little empowerment for the average woman in it, as I see it. It doesn\'t change salaries, it doesn\'t change patriarchal systems. It\'s just the rich doing what the rest of us will never be able to do. Such as it is. I don\'t judge or blame...honestly, I would go up myself if I had the money to. 🤷♂️ Great and humorous write. The note about the phallic shape of the spaceship? Hey, that\'s what great observation is for. Priceless. LOL! Well done, my friend. 🤣

Mental Breakdown To Spiritual Awakening (Part.2)
sorenbarrett said:
This is a most intriguing poem that on the surface feels like a religious awakening but then one has to question how much of this is hidden meaning. It is the last line that gives this thought I have eaten many a Hershey\'s bar and they do appear sweet to a novice chocolate eater but if compared to real chocolate one will soon see the artificial taste of a Hershey\'s bar and its inferior quality that is bitter in comparison. The question becomes did the author place this purposely in the poem and if so it gives it a whole different meaning that is jaded and sardonic. Either way a great write

Daredevil: Born Again
orchidee said:
All I know is Bullseye started in 1981 - the Darts Quiz Show! heehee.
But yes, fairly often re-makes of shows, films, etc can less good that the originals. In \'Bullseye\'s case, old Jim Bowen was an ex- Headmaster, and he lectured the contestants a bit! lol.

Poems, videos, or shows must be total and all action now days or are thrown on the trash heap. We have not patience anymore. Fast food bites us in the ass. A fun poem that cryptically talks to me.

Used to play the violin as a child and it is a devil of an instrument with no frets, so easy to be off tune. A fun read
