What Does Easter Have To Do With Eggs And Rabbits? by gohf(op): 2:50pm On Mar 31, 2024
So Google is like eggs symbolise new life and rebirth and it's thought that this ancient custom became a part of Easter celebrations. In the medieval period, eating eggs was forbidden during Lent (the 40 days before Easter) so on Easter Sunday, tucking into an egg was a real treat!

One theory is that the symbol of the rabbit stems from pagan tradition, specifically the festival of Eostre—a goddess of fertility whose animal symbol was a bunny. Rabbits, known for their energetic breeding, have traditionally symbolized fertility.

Okay hold up, Rabbits don't lay eggs, so what's the point of the whole, eggs and rabbits. I get the church celebrating the resurrection of Christ, but why does the world have to add some ISH to this thing. Like father Christmas, Santa claus to Christmas and Jesus wasn't enough.

So egg is the tomb and Jesus is what the chick. Come on, make it make sense. The world just doesn't want Jesus becoming popular yet can't kick against the celebration, so they replace it with something senseless. Okay what does a bunny have to do with all this??

The Easter bunny and Easter eggs originated as pagan symbols of spring and rebirth. Over the centuries, these ancient symbols became associated with the Christian holiday of Easter such that the two traditions have merged together to become what some celebrate today.

Anyway if you can't afford chicken or turkey, just fry egg. After all Easter is about eggs right 😁

So instead of celebrating spiritual birth, these guys somewhere down there, want people to be celebrating fertility that ends in mortality... Like 🤦🏿‍♀️

There is absolutely nothing about Easter unless you mean the goddess Ishtar is whom you celebrate then I have no qualms with your belief. Easter is a commercial holiday during which we gather to eat and drink ourselves to stupor in gladness. grin
