Like a littlestick. Hello, friend. Have a seat. Welcome to another fascinating collaboration podcast I've arranged.

I'm Shane Waters, the host of Fowlplay Crime series, and today we're about to embark on a wondrous

journey, an Easter adventure unlike any other. During our time together, 12 podcasters friends of mine

will be joining us to share true stories of fake deaths. All podcasters are listed in the show

notes, along with a link on where to find them. As we prepare for the excitement that lies ahead,

let's take a moment to reflect on the origins of this cherished holiday.

The history of Easter is a fascinating blend of religious, cultural, and pagan traditions.

At its core, Easter is a Christian holiday, celebrating the resurrection of their central religious

figure, from the dead. An event that holds great significance for Christians worldwide.

However, the origins of Easter can be traced back to even earlier traditions, with some elements

of the holiday borrowed from ancient pagan customs. The name Easter is believed to have originated

from the Old English word, Easter or Easter, which is connected to the name of a pagan goddess, Easter.

Easter was a goddess of spring and fertility in Anglo-Saxon and Germanic mythology,

celebrated during the spring equinox. The connection to the spring equinox with spring being a

time of renewal and rebirth likely influenced the adoption of Easter as the name for the Christian

holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus. Now that we've set the stage, let's dive into our

adventure. Walking through the sun-dappled forest, a flash of movement catches our eye,

a rabbit, but this isn't just any ordinary rabbit. It's wearing a waistcoat and carrying a

pocket watch. Curiosity peaked. We follow the rabbit down a hole, tumbling into a world of wonder

and whimsy. As we dust ourselves off, we meet our first peculiar character, a wise old owl named

Ophelia, perched on a tree branch. Hello dear traveler, welcome to the enchanted Easter lands.
