Earth Day, Easter falls on Good Friday ?




"Check the roots of your faith
Search ALL the scriptures"

The Episcopal Church’s office of Economic and Environmental Affairs issued the following statement:

This year Earth Day falls within Holy Week, specifically on Good Friday, a profound coincidence…To fully honor Earth Day, we need to reclaim the theology that knows Earth is ‘very good,’ is holy. When we fully recognize that, our actions just may begin to create a more sustainable, compassionate economy and way of life….

“a profound coincidence?” What do Earth Day and Easter have in common?

Earth Day...Mother Earth... "Mother Gaia," the bare breasted goddess worshiped by Romans, a favored divinity of Roman legionaries, and her worship spread from Roman military encampments and military colonies.




Easter Day...Ishtar...The goddess Easter (Ishtar) the bare breasted Babylonian goddess who 3 month old babies were sacrificed to once a year in the spring. (Eggs would be dipped into the blood e.g. Easter eggs.)


Babylonian scriptures called her the "Light of the World, Leader of Hosts, Opener of the Womb, Righteous Judge, Lawgiver, Goddess of Goddesses, Bestower of Strength, Framer of All decrees, Lady of Victory, Forgiver of Sins, Torch of Heaven and Earth.
Many are her sacred titles - "Exalted Light of Heaven", "She Who Begets All", "Guardian of the Law" and "Shepherdess of the Lands"

Two sides of the same coin, whether it's the goddess Gaia or Ishtar (Easter)

What does HaShem say: “And in all things that I have said unto you take ye heed: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.” No where in scripture are we told to celebrate a holiday named after the pagan goddess Ishtar. (Easter)


Faith Episcopal Church: You Know What Global Warming is Kind of Like? It‘s Kind of Like Christ’s Crucifixion


As Easter approaches, and Christians around the world contemplate the meaning and significance of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion, the Episcopal Church has offered up some of its own wisdom on the issue this Lenten season.

The Daily Caller reports:

While Christians worldwide meditate upon the crucifixion of their savior this Good Friday, the Episcopal Church has suggested that the faithful also reflect upon whether they’re doing their part to reduce C02 emissions.

Two of the world’s holiest religious holidays are set to fall on April 22 this year — Good Friday for Christians and Earth Day for environmentalists — and some religious leaders are preparing their flocks to celebrate both.

Apropos of that, the Episcopal Church’s office of Economic and Environmental Affairs issued the following statement:

This year Earth Day falls within Holy Week, specifically on Good Friday, a profound coincidence…To fully honor Earth Day, we need to reclaim the theology that knows Earth is ‘very good,’ is holy. When we fully recognize that, our actions just may begin to create a more sustainable, compassionate economy and way of life….

On Good Friday, the day we mark the crucifixion of Christ, God in the flesh, might we suggest that when Earth is degraded, when species go extinct, that another part of God’s body experiences yet another sort of crucifixion — that another way of seeing and experiencing God is diminished?
