A proposito di questo titolo

The internet will tell you Easter was stolen from a pagan goddess. The internet is wrong.

Join Shane and Duncan as they crack open the strange, surprisingly contentious history of Easter. What starts with a 2nd-century church dispute over calendar math spirals into centuries of tradition, myth, and misinformation, touching on ancient lunar formulas, Roman torture devices, Lenten food rules that accidentally created a worldwide egg hunt, and global celebrations that make an American Easter look downright boring.

From sacred arguments over celebration dates to global celebrations involving whips, water, and criminal effigies, this one gets weird fast.
