Springtime colors in clothing, the time of year when men can wear pink, yellow, and lime green. Sheep, little lambs are also popular.
And of course, on the spiritual side, anything relating to the crucifixion, ressurection, and ministry of Jesus Christ.

first of all Easter is actually a Pagan holiday, stolen from the xtians . The bunnies and eggs and flowers and stuff is part of the pagan holiday .xtians needs to understand their holidays are all Pagan, nothing to do with Jesus .Easter celebrations were held hundreds of years before Christ was born as festivals of spring honoring Eostre, the great mother goddess .
The goddess Ostara was the Norse equivalent whose symbols were the hare and the egg. From this comes our modern tradition of celebrating Easter with eggs and bunnies.
Attis derived his mythology from even earlier gods, Osiris, Dionysus, and Orpheus, who also were supposed to have been born of a virgin and suffered death and resurrection as long as 500 years before Christ was born. The death of Attis was commemorated on a Friday and the resurrection was celebrated three days later on Sunday.
The ancient Babylonian religions had rituals involving dyed eggs as did the ancient Egyptians.
next Sunday, if you go to an Easter sunrise service, hunt for colored eggs or eat marshmallow bunnies, remember you are indulging in pagan rituals that celebrate fertility and the advent of springtime!

Easter is a testament as to how Powerful the Roman Cross really is.
In the Last 2000 years, it has held God firmly in his place
(i.e: nailed to 2 lengths of wood looking beaten, bloody, and generally not too well).
Long live the Cross, and may their God stay dead forever
