🪷 Nothing says "Easter" like two rabbit-headed demon gatekeepers of the Duat Underworld, holding rearing cobra serpents. This delightful scene ... full of #Easter cheer ... is from the 21st-Dynasty papyrus of Gautseshen, a singer of Montu at Thebes. 🪷
Greetings, myth lovers! #Easter is around the corner and to honour our egg-laying domestic birds, our theme this week is Chickens, Ducks, and Geese! Tell us a myth about fowl an tag us with #MythologyMonday for boosts. See you Monday! 🐓
So in Polish wishes for #Easter we often say "happy #egg" (pol. wesołego jajka) or "tasty egg" (pol. smacznego jajka). So what about #dragon egg (smocznego jajka)? :blobcat_amused:
Easter means a lot to me. I know it's not everyone's holiday, but if you feel like I do about Easter and you have ever wondered if the story of Easter is for you-- don't let anyone tell you it's not.
I can't possibly apologize for all of the harm done in the name of a beautiful story. But, I think it's because of how fundamentally subversive "love thy neighbor" really is, if you take it seriously. So, the message is often poisoned at the source.
For #MosaicMonday and #Easter Monday a lovely image of a #rabbit, a detail from a mosaic showing Orpheus surrounded by enchanted #animals.
Found in Antioch, modern-day Antakya, #Turkey. Dating 4th c. AD.
I wrote about Easter falling on the same day as #TDOV last week, when it was just a twinkle in conservatives' eyes.
At the time I didn't think it would take off bc it was too dumb. As usual I overestimated just how dumb and hateful this moral panic is. #trans#news#easter
Republicans showed us something important about their coordinated, orchestrated attack this Easter weekend on Biden and Democrats in general. As Biden went to church on Easter Sunday and Trump did not – as he never does – but spewed bile on social media, Republicans mounted a coordinated, orchestrated attack on Biden and Democrats because Easter coincided with trans visibility day this year.
