I don't think I could've planned a more appropriate topic for the first post of my resurrected blog: Zombies' Easter.
Earlier, I posed this question to some people: do zombies love or hate Easter? I'd say zombies may love Easter because it's the one day that it okay for the reanimated, formerly-deceased to be out and about. With the exception of Halloween, Easter may be the one day of the year in which zombies are not vilified.
Or maybe zombies hate Easter because of the hypocrisy of it all: it is okay, even celebrated, that one formerly-deceased guy (Jesus) was reanimated / resurrected, yet every other reanimated person is loathed? Is it a double standard?
There is no doubt in my mind that the story of Jesus' reanimation is the original zombie tale. Considering one of the most common beliefs within zombie lore is that infection is spread through direct contact (particularly consumption and cross-contamination), it is evident that Jesus is a zombie. And it is through the 'Body of Christ' rite that maintains the zombie lineage.
