Church guide

"For those who claim the celebration of Easter was assigned by Constantine as an accommodation of pagan practices, they must contend with the records of Irenaeus and others. However, at the Council of Nicaea in AD 325, the issue was finally settled by the church as a whole. The desire of the churches as a whole, even prior to the council, was to unite the entire body of Christ on this all-important day of celebrating the Resurrection—the established date had nothing to do with conforming to pagan festivals." https://answersingenesis.org/holidays/easter/is-the-date-of-easter-of-pagan-origin/?fbclid=IwAR0AMI4T6S6MIea9APZV4WVdW8oJCW4Tjt1usc4hyJ0J-ThBs_bG8usUN6A

"Was it a day to remember those who died in the Flood and a continuation of the sacrifices that Noah made after coming off the Ark? Because the celebrations call for the remembrance of the dead and have sacrifices, it is reminiscent of the large sacrifice that Noah and his family performed after the Flood. This would also explain why many other cultures have a variant of this regular sacrifice. When Noah and his family exited the Ark, they offered sacrifices to God (Genesis 8:18–9:1); of course, deviations in the manner of this sacrifice over the years and its meaning would have varied down through the ages. Based on the evidence, this seems to be the most likely explanation."

Do you want to influence your grandchildren? ...be like the repentant and restored Manasseh. Regardless of how you’ve lived to this point, purge your life of attachments to idols within you—certain plans, habits, anything that you give a higher priority than God. And like Josiah, build up the temple—your own spiritual life—by studying God’s Word to know it and be changed by it. When you do, as a Christian grandparent, you are shining the light to your grandchildren.
