Easter's roots are all pagan according to many sources.
Easter's roots are all pagan according to many sources. Even the name Easter has some controversy as it's a word mixed up with a different word.
The question is then... is Easter a real Christian holiday? Easter @ Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

You're a busy little beaver, aren't you? First Santa, now the Easter Bunny...you'd be bleeding you found us too late to get stuck into Samhain/Halloween for our benefit, wouldn't you. I expect if we wait long enough it'll happen.
By the way, Jesus did tell his disciples to go out on the anniversary of his ressurection every year and hunt coloured eggs laid by a rabbit, however it was edited from the final draft to make the chapter less disjointed.

No t3gah what I meant was is why we have the Eggs at Easter time. To resemble the act of Jesus 's "new life"?
