Virginity ?
“I speak in a poem of the ancient food of heroes: humiliation, unhappiness, discord. Those things are given to us to transform, so that we may make from the miserable circumstances of our lives things that are eternal, or aspire to be so.” Jorge Luis Borges

Fertility, not virginity. That's what spring festivals and goddesses are about everywhere, and the pagan trappings of Easter are no exception.

I am listening more and more of him for few days. Before this time period, all I knew about him was ganja and rasta head gear. Now that I have started to listen to him, I feel he was immensely talented which most people wearing t-shirts with his picture on it do not know.
Does anyone here is a fan of this legend? If yes, could you recommend a best of Marley kind of song collection I can get?

I tend to listen to him in summer - his music doesn't work for me when it's cold and wet and miserable.

Bit of a three-hills assumption, there: "I didn't know, so no-one else knew, either".

so forgive me for a complete violation of your personal beliefs, convictions, etc. 
In the early 1900's Rudolf Steiner wrote a series of verses for each week. Here's the Easter week one (one translation)
In light, which out of Spirit depth
In space fruit-bear weaving,
Which there reveals the gods' creating:
The essence of the soul appears
Expanded to the universe
And resurrected
From narrow selfhood's inner might.
Happy Easter!

I dunno - typical Christians, trying to bring religion into Easter! 
Happy Chocolate Egg Day!

Interesting possessive apostrophe indicates older, pagan roots. Steiner must have been a smart man to work that in so cleverly. Unless it is a translation error... Nah, couldn't be an error...

(For more of those interesting pagan roots, read p. 78 & 79 of The Hibbert Lectures[^]. That the Hebrew authors were aware of the sacrifice of sons is reflected in Micah 6:7[^]. So 'Jesus' being sacrificed has a precedent, and isn't as original as everyone thinks. In spite of these facts, I hope you have a happy Easter! Religious ideas were always meant to make the world better! I support that goal entirely.)

The entire Christ story -- virgin birth, crucifixion, resurrection, son of God, etc., is repeated numerous times in pre-Christian mythologies dating back thousands of years. One of the biggest claims against Christianity is in fact that it is a copycat of earlier pagan lore.
