saw some lesser works by Seurat, he's pretty good.

They're a Jewish hoax designed to keep the wars small and local and profitable.

You should trust in that they are flawed.

>How is Easter calculated?

It's a bizarrely complicated formula, I honestly don't know.

>Why are there bunnies and eggs with Easter? Are these pagan things?

It's actually a Lutheran thing, believe it or not.

The wikipedia article on the matter is quite good.

>Why is Easter the highest Christian holiday?

Easter is the celebration of Christ's resurrexion, the most important facet of Christianity.

>How is Easter calculated?
I wrote my BA thesis on the Synod of Whitby, which was kind of a debate as to whether the Christians of Northumbria should use the Irish or Roman computus for their Easter, and I honestly still don't entirely understand how it works.

"For most of their history Christians have calculated Easter independently of the Jewish calendar. In principle, Easter falls on the Sunday following the full moon that follows the northern spring equinox (the paschal full moon). However, the vernal equinox and the full moon are not determined by astronomical observation. The vernal equinox is fixed to fall on 21 March (previously it varied in different areas and in some areas Easter was allowed to fall before the equinox). The full moon is an ecclesiastical full moon determined by reference to a lunar calendar, which again varied in different areas. While Easter now falls at the earliest on the 15th of the lunar month and at the latest on the 21st, in some areas it used to fall at the earliest on the 14th (the day of the paschal full moon) and at the latest on the 20th, or between the sixteenth and the 22nd. The last limit arises from the fact that the crucifixion was considered to have happened on the 14th (the eve of the Passover) and the resurrection therefore on the sixteenth. The "computus" is the procedure of determining the first Sunday after the first ecclesiastical full moon falling on or after 21 March, and the difficulty arose from doing this over the span of centuries without accurate means of measuring the precise tropical year. The synodic month had already been measured to a high degree of accuracy. The schematic model that eventually was accepted is the Metonic cycle, which equates 19 tropical years to 235 synodic months."

>Why are there bunnies and eggs with Easter? Are these pagan things?
The Easter Bunny is a uniquely German Protestant tradition I think, while the eggs are much older and have their roots in Mesopotamian Christianity

Why don't Americans celebrate Easter?

wouldn't mind Italy ruling over the world.

Muscle cars, gold chains, rosary beeds, tank tops, tattoos, pastry and pasta shops on every corner, loud motorcycles, church parties every weekend. The entire working class would be mechanics, Lawyers, Pizza chefs, and auto sales men.

the Muslims just retained a bit more knowledge from the roman empire

Are you an idiot? The fact that the picture you attached is a photograph and not an engraving or painting proves that Christians didn't destroy the Islamic buildings they encountered.

>>2658634
no... Christians definitely destroyed many of the mosques and religious buildings of Islam culture during the reconquista, the only reason the Masque at Cordoba still stands is because they remade it into a church.

It was still called the Roman Empire during that time period. It wasn't until after it all fell apart again did Byzantine start being used.

how is that wrong?

>>2658437
Because a suit of plate armor was about 18 kgs/ 40 lbs and men could easily run, jump, do pullups, etc in them.

Kinda defeats the purpose of it
Besides if a man couldnt handle it a horse certainly couldnt either
