Easter is one of the most misunderstood holidays in all of Christianity, and in this episode Kevin and Ryder break it all down. We cover where the name “Easter” actually comes from (hint: it has nothing to do with Ishtar), the deep connection between Easter and the Jewish Passover, how the date of Easter is calculated using the sun and the moon, and why Catholics are actually supposed to celebrate for 50 days, not just one Sunday. We also get into Easter eggs, the Easter hare, the Easter Vigil tradition, common myths and misconceptions, and close out with an announcement about the next Faithful Fireside book club pick.

Whether you are a lifelong Catholic, a new convert, or just curious about the origins and meaning of Easter, this episode has something for you. We keep it real, keep it fun, and always bring the faith back to everyday life. ...
