Should We Celebrate Easter?
SKU: Q-123 | by Barry Baggott
“Should We Celebrate Easter?” The title says it all. This tract, after making the contrast with the Jewish festival Passover (which in French is spelled almost the same and is often conflated with Easter), examines the question of how Easter is observed by the majority of denominations to commemorate Jesus’ resurrection. Is it a festival commanded by the Lord or a tradition of men? Does it have any place in the life of the church?

Excerpt — Faut-il célébrer la fête de Pâques ?
Aux yeux du monde, l’un des jours les plus importants de l’année pour les chrétiens est sans aucun doute la fête de Pâques, censée commémorer la résurrection de Jésus-Christ. Beaucoup passent des semaines à préparer ce jour en pratiquant le carême, ou en faisant, le Vendredi saint, ce qu’on appelle « le chemin de la croix ». On s’attendrait donc à trouver un enseignement plus ou moins approfondi dans les pages du Nouveau Testament concernant cette fête.
En réalité, la Bible n’en dit rien. Pour les francophones, on fait facilement de la confusion entre la fête de Pâques (au pluriel, avec « s » à la fin), qui n’est pas mentionnée dans la Bible, et la Pâque (au singulier), qui a lieu dans la même période de l’année. La Pâque fut ordonnée par Dieu sous l’ancienne alliance, et les Juifs avaient le devoir solennel de l’observer fidèlement chaque année.
Son institution est décrite en détail en Exode 12.1-14 :

SKU: Q-107 | by Charles White“When we consider that not only must we not avenge ourself, but that we must even do good to those who hate us, it unfortunately happens to us to fall into the trap to think–even subconsciously–that all vengeance, even the very idea of vengeance, is detestable. Yet, Romans 12:9 seems to say the opposite.” A rich study on a neglected subject.

SKU: CV10-N3 | by Tony Coffey(A translated excerpt from the book Once a Catholic)
While welcoming the positive changes within the Catholic church, the author explains that a fundamental problem still remains: it is the Scriptures and not the Tradition of the Church that we must recognize as our authority in religion. That is the attitude that Jesus himself showed.
