The Medical Aspects of the Crucifixion
Have you ever wondered what sort of torment Jesus endured during the crucifixion from a medical point of view? Doctor David Terasaka takes a medical look at Christ's suffering on the day of his crucifixion. This is a very compelling perspective and might appeal to people who prefer a more scientific look at how Jesus was able to endure such great torment.

The Jews Killed Jesus!!!!! Thank God!!!
If you are a devout believer of the Christian faith and if you strongly subscribe to the antiquated (not too mention ridiclous) notion that somehow Jews (all of them from past to future) are responsible for the death of Jesus Christ, you should actually change your hostile tune and be thanking all of Jew-dom for the Crucifixion every Easter and Christmas.
Let's face it - without a dead Messiah to die for all of mankind's sins and come back, Christianity would have been up the spirituality creek without a paddle. There would have been no Resurrection and without that there probably would have been no strong faith to grow and expand.
The above link goes to an essay discussing the ridiculousness of an ancient blame which has caused countless horrors over the centuries - horrors based on the most idiotic of arguments. If you are a devout believer of the Christian faith and if you strongly subscribe to the antiquated (not too mention ridiclous) notion... more -

A brief history of Peeps
Easter without Marshmallow Peeps is like Christmas without Candy Canes, but do you know the history of the fluffy sweat treats?
Russian immigrant Sam Born introduced the marshmallow, sugar, gelatin and carnauba wax creations in 1953 when each yellow chick took 27 hours to fashion by hand.
Now, Pennsylvania-based candy manufacturer Just Born produce Peeps, that pop up during Valentine’s Day, Halloween, Christmas and the 4th of July. The candy ranks as the most popular non-chocolate Easter Bunny delivery. Over the years, Peeps have inspired games like Peep Jousting and Peep Eating Contests and been at the center of debate over the cutesy candy’s alleged indestructibility.
So what about you? Are Peeps your favorite Easter candy? Easter without Marshmallow Peeps is like Christmas without Candy Canes, but do you know the history of the fluffy sweat treats? ... more -
The first ever video game Easter Egg
In the early days of Atari, programmers weren't given credit for the games they designed for fear of other companies trying to steal them away, but Adventure designer Warren Robinett felt that credit was due. He included a hidden object in the game that lead to a secret room that displayed the words, ""Created by Warren Robinett," which was the first known video game Easter egg. Not exactly the most exciting example, but the first deserves credit.

It’s Easter! Christ the Redeemer has risen from the Dead
As Christmas celebrates Jesus` birth, Easter celebrates his victory over death, and his resurrection. Easter, also called Pascha, does not have a fixed date, but always falls on Sunday between March 22 and April 25 following the cycle of the moon. It is the most important festival for Christians around the globe.
Easter celebrations include baptisms, the Eucharist and feasting. Churches hold Easter Sunrise service around 7:00 am which is the symbol of Jesus’ triumph over death. Boiled eggs with coloured sheets are traditionally served at breakfast, which represent new life and resurrection since pre-Christian spring celebrations.
Easter is a period of time rather than just a day. Traditionally the Season used to last for the forty days from Easter Day until Ascension Day, but it now officially lasts for the fifty days until Pentecost. The main events of the Easter story include Jesus’ execution, His burial, and most importantly, His rising from death. It is believed that Jesus rose from the dead, three days after He was crucified by the Roman soldiers on the cross of Calvary in 27-33 AD (Good Friday). On the day of crucifixion, Jesus bore all our sins upon Himself, to gave the Ultimate Sacrifice for all sins of mankind, eternally.
Alleluiah, He Arose!
Matthew 28:1-10, Mark 16:1-8
On the third day, a Sunday, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome went to the tomb at dawn to anoint the body of Jesus. But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.
“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place they laid Him. But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him, just as He told you.’ “ Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, as they were afraid.
Then, Jesus appeared to the women near the tomb and later at least twice to the disciples while they were gathered at a house in prayer. He visited two of the disciples on the road to Emmaus and he also appeared at the Sea of Galilee while several of the disciples were fishing. (NIV)
Out of doubts still, Thomas, one of His disciples did not believe that Jesus was alive again until he touched Jesus’ fatal wounds. In the following forty days, hundreds of people witnessed this Jesus, who had risen from death until He ascended to Heaven.
There are at least 12 different appearances of Christ in the resurrection accounts as reported in the New Testament, beginning with Mary and ending with Paul. These are: Matthew 28:8–20, Mark 16:9–20, Luke 24:13–49, John 20:11–21:25, Acts 1:1–11, and 1 Corinthians 15:3–9. They were physical, tangible experiences with Christ eating, speaking and allowing Himself to be touched.
