Nevertheless, weeping for Tammuz has been absorbed into Christianity by the institution of Lent a 40-day period of fasting and prayer observed in some Christian denominations as a prelude to Easter. God said to Ezekiel: “Turn again, and you will see greater abominations that they are doing.” So he brought me to the door of the north gate of the LORD’S house and to my dismay, women were sitting there weeping for Tammuz.” (Ezekiel 8:13-14). This pagan tradition of “weeping for Tammuz” is specifically proscribed in the scriptures.

Sun worship is expressly forbidden in the scriptures. Indeed, Easter means “movement towards the rising sun.” It pertains to the religious rites of people who worship the sun and the signs of the heavens. When Nimrod was also killed, Ashtoreth deified him as sun-god or life-giver. After Ham’s death, Nimrod married Ashtoreth his own mother, and became a powerful king of ancient Babylon. Ham and Ashtoreth gave birth to a son called Nimrod.
