Why is Easter celebrated with Eggs and Bunnies?
that would be true if Easter originated from Christianity, but it was around long before that, The origins of Easter are rooted in European traditions. The name Easter comes from a pagan figure called Eastre (or Eostre) who was celebrated as the goddess of spring by the Saxons of Northern Europe. A festival called Eastre was held during the spring equinox by these people to honor her. The goddess Eastre’s symbol was the rabbit, which was also known as a symbol of fertility and the eggs symbolizing new life. When Christian influence came on the scene, they claimed the day as their own but kept some of the old traditions.
