Easter is said to be the celebration of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the grave, an event which sealed the salvation of mankind.
What I don't get, is the egg that features in Easter. I don't know sha if Jesus laid an egg, when he resurrected. Could clarification on this easter egg thingy be made?

Christians around the world, will celebrate the most important aspect of Christ' mission on Earth....
Save a lost world by being born, living a sin-less life, pointing us sinners, to Him...the only One who can transform our lives....and finally conquering death on the Cross by resurrection.
If the resurrection didn't occur, then all would be in vain....and He would have no power to do anything and would lose the authority He has as Son of God.
Unfortunately, as with the other more popular holiday, paganism crept in.
Constantine....a pagan emperor decided to mingle paganism with Christianity....since he couldn't completely obliterate Christians.
Hence you have the fertility god (paganism)....the rabbit...laying eggs....and the term "Easter" coming in to play, to make a long story short.
Lots of Christians call it "Resurrection" Sunday...instead of Easter.

. Holy Gbomogbomo! So u mean Christians who exchange eggs during easter actually practice paganism, unknown to dem. Chei! Socrates really said it: "an unexamined life is not worth living".

People do a whole lot of things based out of ignorance...so I have to be sympathetic in that regard.
They simply don't know....
However, they also don't research things either...which is their responsibility.
There's no point in exchanging eggs...it has "0" to do with Christ' resurrection.
When I was young, I couldn't wait for my Easter basket filled with all types of candy....and guess what?
Real dyed eggs which I could eat! We also got to dye the eggs in any color we wanted!
I loved it so much! I also participated in lots of Easter egg hunts....
But u know, when one gets older and learns the truth, then he/she needs to adjust to that truth.
Can't be ignorant anymore.....

Many of us are too choked with the need to funkify Christianity, we are blinded to obvious facts. Nowhere in the Holy bible is Easter regarded as a form of celebration among Christians. In fact, it wasn't until not long ago that It was incorporated into Christianity and it regarded at first, with suspicion by the puritans in England.

Well with all of this being said, the info can be put out there, folks can pray and ask the Holy Spirit to give them wisdom and understanding...if they want to know.
I'm not sure that debating the situation really and truly helps.
There is still however, cause to honor Christ' resurrection...(regardless of that other part).

Nobody needs any understanding from any Holy Spirit. The bible is very clear. It's not a matter of debate. Luk 22:19 is very clear as to wat we shld observe. Jesus Christ specifically instructed that we commemorate his death, by re enacting the breaking of the bread and the drink. Although there are certain restrictions on who eats the bread or drinks the wine. Have u ever asked urself why the churches never do dis. Holy communion is not it, if we are to be strict about observing the scriptures, after all, Easter isn't celebrated every day, the way , communion is taken on on regular basis. Observing Luke 22:19 is to be d same way we observe anniversaries. Anniversaries are not everyday ceremonies. It's shocking how we do not perform memorials on the anniversary of Jesus death, the date of which we know and which he commanded us to commemorate, but we choose to celebrate his resurrection in a very twisted way, which he never instructed.
The devil is playing tricks on us.

The enemy works in such subtle ways....yes indeed.
