Lady Day observed on March 25 is also of Babylonian origin. It’s supposed to be the day of the miraculous conception of Mary while the pagans celebrate it in honor of Cybele, the mother of the Babylonian Messiah. In Rome Cybele was called Domina or "Lady".
Easter is another Babylonian creation. It’s name is derived from Ishtar, one of the Babylonian names of the Queen of Heaven. God called Israel’s Worship of this woman an abomination in his sight.1 Sam 7:3 And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.Round cakes imprinted with a cross were baked for this festival, the cross representing in the Babylonian Mysteries, a sign of life. The forerunners to our hot-cross buns. The Easter eggs were a big part of this celebration. Myth has it that a giant egg fell into the Euphrates river and fish rolled it up onto the bank where doves settled on it and hatched it and out came Astarte or Ishtar the Goddess of Easter. The word Easter in Acts 12:14 should be translated Passover the way it is throughout the rest of the New Testament.
Jer 44:18 But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine. 19 And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men? 20 Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying, 21 The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and came it not into his mind? 22 So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.
Lent is observed forty days, ending with Easter, and is derived from the Babylonian system of mysteries. It is also observed by devil worshippers in Kurdistan, Pagan Mexicans, and was a custom in ancient Egypt. Both Easter and Lent were accepted by the Roman church in 519 A.D. The Heathen observe Lent as the celebration of the “rape of Proserpine” in which is concluded a period of unbridled lust after 40 days of forced abstinence to prepare for it.
