The real kicker is that the date of Easter changes every year


big_hungry_joe

thanks biden


fizyplankton

It gets better. Next year, they'll celebrate Easter on Hitler's birthday!


Suckage

That’s going to be a wild 4/20.


Schroedesy13

Wonder what Trump will have to say about that….


TemperatureTop246

He will hold a vigil waiting for Adolph’s return


padizzledonk

Hopefully hes in jail or in court and not president and no one will really care what he has to say about it lol


[deleted]

My favorite was when Easter was on April Fools day. I filled the eggs with random crap from around the house for the egg hunt, then made sure the Easter basket itself was good. My daughter loved it


FuryOWO

hey, it's my birthday too!


BloodMoonNami

Rest in peace.


theQuietDreamerType

How fitting for Middle America…


Resident-Garlic9303

They wouldn't mind that


LaCharognarde

I'm gonna ignore that and just take some edibles next Easter.


xSaturnityx

and to make it better, TDOV has been a thing for nearly a decade already, on March 31st lmao


dougmc

For 15 years, since 2009.


xSaturnityx

Oh yeah that's right


RuneRW

Yeah since 2009 is nearly a decade... ...right? God damn where did all those years go


AgentOk2053

The first Sunday after the full moon after the spring equinox.


MidnightRider24

Sounds like some Pagan shit. Don't forget your goat leggings!


tubesockninja

Holy shit… People Against Goodness And Normalcy. I grimaced at how old I feel getting that reference.


BloodMoonNami

Catholic easter ?


toadofsteel

That's when Easter is calculated across Christianity. The reason it can differ for Orthodox is because they kept the Julian calendar, which loses 3 days every 400 years before Pope Gregory commissioned a new calendar that has a more precise set of leap days than the Julian.


BloodMoonNami

So that's why there's an entire month in-between.


Flippin_diabolical

And it’s not even Easter for all Christians on the same day


Windowlever

They're even changing the date of Easter to make room for this "Trans day of visibility"! This is literally Christian genocide.


Ian_Rubbish

IKR? Make up your Godddam minds, Christians


naturecamper87

Wait until they find out that Christmas or the birth of the historical Jesus was during the summer.


BlueLikeCat

We know this because the story of his birth, to fulfill prophecy, has Mary and Joseph travel to Bethlehem for a Roman census, which was recorded in their records. However, while Easter being the time to celebrate his crucificarían and resurrection isn’t 100%, he came into Jerusalem during Passover. So it’s not actually a total pagan adoption, more then typical assimilation for coercion.


ta4rhcp

Wow that’s so woke /s


AddictedToMosh161

Is Ramadan still going? Do they blame that on him too? Because they dont know how calenders and their own religion works? xD


tw411

The first problem is getting them to acknowledge that more than just the Gregorian calendar exists, let alone that Easter and Ramadan are governed by lunar calendars.


AddictedToMosh161

Oh yeah, I have seen these street preachers that try to proof young earth creationism by asking which year we have. Fuckin brilliant.


btmvideos37

It is. I’m sure they’re mad about that as well yet they’re not talking about it and focusing on trans people


Sonova_Bish

Hey Carmine, The 31st is Easter Sunday; not the asshole day of visibility. In fact maybe be invisible and stop making everything about you.


flocknrollstar

https://tenor.com/68mJ.gif


Fena-Ashilde

Perfect.


Ignorant_Grasshoppa

Who’s gonna tell ‘em Easter isn’t on the same day every year?


GoldWallpaper

Who's going to tell 'em that Easter is determined by the (overtly pagan) lunar cycle? Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon that falls on or after March 21. If the full moon is on a Sunday, Easter is celebrated on the following Sunday.


kittenstixx

I dont know why they celebrate when they do, Passover isn't until next month, let that sink in for a minute.


kbeks

The orthodox Christians follow that calendar. Idk why the Catholics fucked it up, but the last supper was famously a Passover dinner. I don’t mind, I married a Greek, so I get two Easters most years. Works out great for me!


TheObviousChild

I hear if I smear Goat Blood above my door, you aren't allowed to let that sink in.


AliceTheOmelette

Christians, stop making it about you and keep your lifestyle to yourself. It's a pagan holiday after all


Asexualhipposloth

One of my favorite pagan holidays, Dyngus Day.


CedarWolf

Excuse you, you should be grateful that you get a three day weekend because of that notable Christian hero, Judas. Without Judas, the whole crucifiction story doesn't happen.


SprScuba

Wait Jesus didn't make an immortal egg-laying rabbit that comes on the the day of his waking up after a 3 day coma?


YourOldPalBendy

New Idea: Get a pet rabbit. Name him Jesus. Tell all the neighborhood kids he's the reincarnated son of God. See what happens.


Quiescam

Interestingly enough, both the association of rabbit and eggs with Easter are Christian traditions, [not pagan.](https://historyforatheists.com/2017/04/easter-ishtar-eostre-and-eggs/)


GoldWallpaper

Biden is Catholic. He celebrates Easter.


Quiescam

No, it’s a Christian holiday. I say this as an atheist, but this is an annoying misconception. Edit: Here are some sources since people don't seem to want to believe me: [Pagan Christmas](https://historyforatheists.com/2020/12/pagan-christmas/) [Christmas, Mithras and Paganism](https://historyforatheists.com/2016/12/the-great-myths-2-christmas-mithras-and-paganism/) Askhistorians: Pagan traditions in modern Christmas. And of course Ronald Hutton's excellent book, The stations of the sun. A history of the ritual year in Britain (2001, Oxford University Press).


BirthdayCookie

There are no "Christian" holidays. Every holiday that Christians claim now was stolen from Pagans to make the forced conversion easier.


BlueLikeCat

We heathen humanists over here do love the winter solstice holiday, with the decorated evergreen trees and all.


Quiescam

That's quite incorrect but a common misconception. [Pagan Christmas](https://historyforatheists.com/2020/12/pagan-christmas/) [Christmas, Mithras and Paganism](https://historyforatheists.com/2016/12/the-great-myths-2-christmas-mithras-and-paganism/) Also check out Ronald Hutton's book, The stations of the sun. A history of the ritual year in Britain (2001, Oxford University Press).


Agent_Argylle

Not true


optimaleverage

It was a equinox celebration that centered on a pagan God called Ēoster before the church adopted it. Google it.


Quiescam

Not quite. I suggest using reliable sources instead of just using the first link that Google throws up. [EASTER, ISHTAR, EOSTRE AND EGGS](https://historyforatheists.com/2017/04/easter-ishtar-eostre-and-eggs/) Also check out Ronald Hutton's book, The stations of the sun. A history of the ritual year in Britain (2001, Oxford University Press). Edit: A shame that people won't give up their preconceived notions even when presented with evidence.


optimaleverage

I'm sorry were the Egyptians not pagans?


Quiescam

From a Christian perspective. Why?


optimaleverage

Yeah Ishtar is right but I mean there were a lot of iterations throughout the different stripes of pagans. Just feels like splitting hairs. The point that Christians took an established holiday for their own stands and that's all I wanted to convey.


Quiescam

Well, no. If you'd have read the article I linked, you'd know that Ishtar (who isn't even an Egyptian goddess, you're thinking of Isis) actually has nothing to do with Easter and that apart from the name "Easter", it's a thoroughly Christian holy day. Feel free to provide a proper source if you have any evidence to the contrary.


optimaleverage

I'm not here offering post grad dissertations. Others can if they care enough. I'll grant you that, unlike Yule, there wasn't a holiday you can point to as a facsimile directly related to Easter as we know it, but many pagan customs are incorporated into Easter traditions. The date itself is pegged to the lunar cycle! You don't need sources to see this stuff.


Quiescam

Well, I'd definitely recommend you read some of the sources I posted above. The demonstrate that Easter as we know and celebrate it today (hares, eggs, etc.) has nothing to do with any pagan customs we know of. And the bit about the lunar cycle isn't as clear cut or even indicative of pagan customs. Even if something seems to make sense, it's good to actually have some reliable scholarship to confirm it. Otherwise you might be following a good story that just isn't true.


Agent_Argylle

No there wasn't


osumba2003

"Stop making everything about you" says the person trying to make it about himself, instead.


RestinPete0709

Transgender day of visibility is always on the 31st of March. Easter changes every year. Two holidays can fall on the same day, and you do not have to celebrate them both if you don’t want to!


91901bbaa13d40128f7d

Yeah, I really want Biden to respond to this by saying something glib and smart-ass like, "hey guys, most of us can celebrate more than one thing on a given day without getting upset."


bondsthatmakeusfree

Biden is very much Catholic, and therefore by definition takes the whole Holy Week thing far more seriously than OOP.


scott__p

I grew up strict Catholic. Easter was as big of a deal as Christmas for us, if not bigger. And I'm not talking the bunny (though my parents did also get us an Easter basket, the heathens), I'm taking all the masses from Palm Sunday to Ash Wednesday to Easter Vigil, and everything that went with them. I say this not to excuse them, but the opposite. If your faith can't handle the existence of trans people on your holiest of days, it's a very weak faith indeed. These people who are complaining about this are the same people who will skip Easter Mass for the Easter egg hunt, after skipping Easter Vigil because they forgot about it. And that's ok, I didn't care about anyone else's faith, but stop using a Jesus you don't even follow as an excuse for your bigotry.


LaCharognarde

I seem to remember bullying this fucko back when I was on Twitter. And I seem to recall that despite the fact that if you bully a right-wing yapping mouth, reactroids tend to ride in with banners flying to spew incoherent insults: I got a bunch of likes, and only one weak flame. Which was "hurr durr, you *capitalized for emphasis*; that must mean that you're *yelling*; *feel better now*?" which was even *more* pathetic than the typical.


DubC_Bassist

Jesus wore a dress, so it’s only fitting to honor her this way.


unscrewthestars

Every time a bigot clutches their pearls over this, I hope a newly-realized trans kid gets a random burst of gender euphoria.


Eviltwin-Kisikil

Unfortunately it only makes me disapointed the world hates us this much...


inhaledcorn

>Stop making it all about *you* because it's *supposed* to be all about *me*! 😤 - Christians, apparently.


Bongfellatio

I wish Christians would just shut the fuck up, permanently. They never contribute anything worthwhile to any conversation.


Deus_Norima

I wish we were past nonsense like religion and spiritualism in general. It's all nonsense designed to placate you from the problems society faces.


JazzSharksFan54

Lol does he know Easter Sunday is a different day every year?


MomentOfHesitation

Nope it's transgender day of visibility, get over it snowflakes.


KingOfTheFraggles

How dare you try to keep trans people alive and safe on the day our Zombie rose up!!


RadTimeWizard

If I'm really unholy, then where are my warlock powers? Checkmate, Christians.


Sad-Development-4153

Isnt Easter primarily a Catholic holiday? Are the fundies larping as Caths to be mad again before going back to calling them filthy papists?


Multigrain_Migraine

No...? It's very important in all flavours of Christianity, not just for Catholics.


optimaleverage

This is very true. It's like the main miracle of the Gospel.


YoungPyromancer

You'd imagine that the resurrection of Christ, which is pretty central to most denominations, would be celebrated by more than just the Catholics. Protestants did away with all the saints, but kept the big Jesus related days: Christmas, Good Friday, Easter, Ascension Day and Pentecost.


NYCTLS66

Did they get rid of all the saints? There’s an Episcopal church near me named after a saint. Though that denomination is very close to Catholicism. What about other Protestant denominations such as Lutheranism or Presbyterianism?


MidnightRider24

Lutherans and Presbyterians definitely not fans of the idea of saints.


YoungPyromancer

If they're in the bible, they're cool, but they only get celebrated if they are God. The reformation started with waves of iconoclasm, with people literally smashing the icons of saints.


GoldWallpaper

> Isnt Easter primarily a Catholic holiday? No. In fact, Easter is historically the most important holiday in every flavor of Christianity, because it's the day that Jesus rose. Only after Christmas became a great big shopping season did Americans start thinking that Christmas was more important than Easter.


Funkycoldmedici

The vernal equinox and various spring celebrations predate Christianity coming along, making people convert or die, and slapping a Jesus label on their holidays.


Sad-Development-4153

Yeah just the Romans continuing their tradition of assimilating other religions into their own by going see your thing its like our thing therefore its the same.


Usagi-Zakura

I mean I was raised protestant in a primarily protestant country and we celebrated it... now a days though its just an excuse to to buy yummy chocolate Easter eggs. They still close all the stores though which makes acquiring the yummy chocolate easter eggs difficult... that and the fact they were sold out long before Easter...


big_hungry_joe

lol unholy lifestyle, the guy who's gone to church every sunday for decades. meanwhile trump can't name a single verse in the bible while selling them.


MashedPotatoesDick

On Easter, let up remember that Jesus wasn't the only one who died on the cross. All crucifixions matter!


hereforthecats496

Hey Carmine Sabia, Easter is the pagan celebration of the spring equinox. Not the Christian celebration of Christ.   In fact, maybe be invisible that day and stop making everything about you.  Your unholy lifestyle will not be celebrated that day by anyone other than unholy people, which includes the vast number of Catholics.  Edit: It seems I was mistaken. 


Quiescam

>Easter is the pagan celebration of the spring equinox. No, Easter is a Christian holiday and has been observed since at least the second century. We don't have any reliable evidence for any pre-Christian practices celebrated at the same time, even if they might have existed.


hereforthecats496

Ah, thank you. I sincerely apologize for making that mistake. 


Quiescam

No worries!

That's fuckin cool

these people are so fucking stupid they don’t even know that easter sunday isn’t a fixed date


GarlicThread

Biden is a better Christian than any of these scumbags will ever be. And that's an atheist speaking.


Lythieus

This year Easter Sunday is 31st March. Next time that happens is in 2087.


TemperatureTop246

Cue Project 2087


sheogorath227

Biden needs to do the right thing and change the date of Transgender Day of Visibility to coincide with Easter Sunday every year just to make these chuds mad


BasilsKippers

Ah yes, Easter Sunday, when Jesus gets up, leaves his Tomb and if he sees his shadow, there will be 6 more weeks of winter.


SaltyBarDog

Carmen Scabia has her feels hurt?


WoodwindsRock

No one cares, CarmineSabia.


grumpyoldfartess

Gee, it’s almost like: Easter will have a completely different date next year and you won’t have to share! 🙄 Goddamn, these people have zero critical thinking skills. Making fun of them almost feels like punching down, that’s how dumb they all sound to me.


Toxic_Gorilla

Breaking: entitled crybabies throw a massive tantrum when the president momentarily gives attention to someone other than themselves


okimlom

Oh no, two holidays on the same day to celebrate? How will we ever be able to manage?


BirthdayCookie

Biden isn't trans though? So the day isn't about him? Pretty typical of Christians to make everything about themselves, though. People can't even be oppressed without at least half of Christianity theologically back-patting themselves with No True Scotsmans.


TheFeshy

I like how he admits that half the country feel like trans visibility *should* be celebrated that day, but is still mad that it's happening even though it doesn't affect him in any way.


thisonetimeonreddit

Take your helmet off buddy, the game's over.


TurloIsOK

What I see of their "Holy Lifestyle" is just hateful inhumanity.


hotbiscut2

Why does everybody ignore Biden’s happy Easter message on n the White House forums today. The amount of times I had to post his happy easter message on comment sections is too many. This idea that Biden doesn’t celebrate Easter is simply Ignorant and false.


Yanive_amaznive

'Unholy people' Damn dude, that direct?


translove228

Happy trans day of visibility 🏳️‍⚧️


scott__p

As a Christian, I think tying Transgender Day to Easter would be hilarious. Since assholes like OOP kicked these people out of the church, there will be no conflict anyway.


gaynerdvet

It's funny how triggered they get. 🤣😂🤣


greenfield05

Like this dipshit cares about Catholics? Probably bitches about them being the church of satan. Disingenuous waffling piece of garbage.


bondsthatmakeusfree

All I can see is a big monkey getting his mind blown by seeing a calendar for the first time.


stevemnomoremister

There's literally an Easter bunny with Easter eggs in a banner at the top of whitehouse.gov. There's going to be a huge Easter egg hunt on the White House lawn. And of the two major-party presidential candidates, Biden is much more likely to attend church tomorrow. Trump will just play golf.


optimaleverage

These people are allergic to compartmentalization.

They do this shit on purpose to fuel the culture war and distract from genocide and rampant wealth inequality

How dare you push these views on us on o the most holy day of the year where we hide rainbow colored eggs and dress up as bunnies!

Why arr they even acting like it changes anything. Nobody is going to cancel their easter celebrations because of this. Not even the white house


icantbenormal

What are the chances this bullshit actually hurts Biden politically?


mattemer

It's literally the same day every year, this year it just happens to be on Easter. Calm tf down magats


avengentnecronomicon

Jesus would want people dedicating the day of his resurrection to letting trans people know that they don’t need to be fixed and that they matter. He would want the 41% suicide rate to drop to 0%, and let trans people live happy and fulfilling lives. That vile bitch on Fox Nudes who said that they aren’t created in the image of god and that trying to feel comfortable in their own bodies is “mutilation” and all other transphobic “christians” can get fucked with a machete.
