There is no association. We don't weep for Tammuz. We don't care about Tammuz. We don't even necessarily weep. We fast and voluntarily deny ourselves pleasures of the world (well... we're supposed to anyway...) like Jesus did in Mark 1, Matthew 4, and Luke 4.
Maybe you should tell Jesus that spending 40 days in the desert was a bad idea since it loosely seems to mimic something some pagans once did. (Speaking of which, pagans prayed too... maybe Christians should stop praying?) :help:

According to Catholics, Lent is derived from the 40 days Yeshua spent fasting in the wilderness, but it is admitted that the observance of Lent was unknown to the disciples and it did not find its way into the church until several centuries after the time of the Messiah. Lent was an indispensible preliminary to the great annual festival in commemoration of the death and resurrection of Tammuz -- which was celebrated by alternate weeping and rejoicing. So the 40 days of Lent is connected with the Babylonian goddess Ashtoreth/ Astarte/Ishtar (the origin of the word Easter), and the worship of Tammuz.

When you copy and paste from websites, that makes it look like you don't have a mind of your own.
Maybe you really don't.
Also, in case you haven't noticed, English is a pagan language. That's the real problem with "Easter" if you insist on looking at it that way. In other languages the name of the same holy day doesn't look or sound like "Ishtar" at all.
If we apply your line of reasoning, Christians everywhere must stop speaking English at once. And should especially abhor English translations of the Bible (if they really knew anything about scripture they already would anyway).

SPITFIRE, do you hold LENT or EASTER as Important to you - if so,
then you are disobeying God.
We have the Mind of Christ or didn't you know that ?
1 Corinthians 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him?
But we have the mind of Christ.
Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Isaiah 58:1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet,
and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.

For ALL Christians Easter is observed in remembrance of the crucifixion, burial and resurrection of Christ Jesus, no pagan worship.

EASTER EGGS AND BUNNIES ARE NOT SCRIPTURAL.
STOP KEEPING PAGAN RITUALS

JESUS said to keep the Foot washing service at Passover.
John 13:12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments,
and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
John 13:15 For I have given you an example,
that ye should do as I have done to you.

A wise man once said, don't condemn the darkness, introduce more light. They will never let go of the false until they have seen the personal value of the true.
If you tell a homeless child to put down a dirty doll, they will not do it. But if you give them a new clean one to exchange, they'll surrender the dirty old one in a heartbeat.
Coming to Him as a child, also means humbling yourself to think like a child, because they are the ones we cannot turn away, for such is the kingdom. Peace

If we just call it Passover, would that make you happy?
