Ed mentioned something about the LDS not celebrating Easter...

EASTER PAGEANTS

Most temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) perform
pageants.  Some, such as the temple where I live in Mesa, Arizona, choose to
annually perform a beautiful "Easter" pageant.  Mormons and
Christians do not
share the same understanding of Jesus Christ's death and resurrection.  In
years past, the pageant was performed depicting events in accordance with
Mormon teachings.  Apparently, in more recent years, when LDS leaders realized
that this was offending Christians, they began presenting the Christian view
of Easter.  The main purpose after all seems to be to draw non-Mormons.
During this show, one may find the grounds teeming with Mormon missionaries.
They use this performance to get visitors to fill out a card which results in
later home visits from missionaries.  The non-LDS person rarely knows that the
pageant is used for that purpose.
