Easter and the Cross. Purely Christian symbols and events, or something borrowed from the ancient past? This anthology explores the deep history of these subjects with many different authors providing a range of perspectives that I think the reader will enjoy, perspectives ranging from Comparative mythology, Norse mythology, Aryan mythology, the Mystery Religions, Sex Worship, Nature Worship, Phallicism, Symbology, Superstition, Astrology, Lunar calendars, Bible translation, Easter Customs and even Blavatsky's Theosophy.
