So it is now that I post my 888 post. Interesting that the day that I get to this number should be a Sunday, and Palm Sunday nonetheless. Kinda cool

Happy up-coming Easter for all those Easter-types out there!

For those that may not know, 888 is (supposedly) the number representative of Christ.

I expect this thread to be closed soon, but as someone who minored in comparative religious studies, I've never heard this. When exactly did '888' start to reference JC?

If this is the basis, perhaps looking into the strange pagan history of 'Easter' (I mean the name is a giveaway, no?) and bunnies/eggs would be time better spent than numerology? No disrespect meant, but it's a far more interesting read.

Still Happy Palm Sunday/future Easter to all, however you celebrate it, and forever long this thread stays open.

I thought it was 777...

I also thought it was 777... isn't that in Revelation somewhere?

I was informed, as I recall, that 888 is [theomatically] the number of eternal victory.

I think 888 is also a toll free area code...if not, it should be.

I have nothing clever to say here...

However in the interest of respecting superstitions, especially on this date, I thought it best to move past that previous post count...

Happy egg hunts to all participants

Lookit, I think I found the Easter Bunny
