I don't see anything wrong with it, it lets the kids have fun, my daughter loves Easter eggs, the Easter bunny, and Santa clause...it does not mean that she does not know the meaning of Easter or Christmas.

Eggs and rabbits were originally Pagan symbols that were used in spring celebrations (known to some as Ostara) to symbolize the renewal of the Earth after the winter, and the birth of new beginnings.
So technically, Christians shouldn't use these elements during Easter since we Pagans are evil, and everything we believe in is centric to the Christian Satan, whether or not we intend it to be.

I view them as a fertility symbol sacred to the Goddess Eostre.

Such a wonderful way to teach children about Christianity! Almost as good as Santa Claus...

If taught properly, it let's others see that many pagan festivals were claimed by Christianity when it came along.

I don't have a problem with it. Besides, I like egg salad.

i am all for Pagan traditions being further infused into Christian religion.
maybe after a few more centuries they will become tolerant and peacful.

what about them??
Eggs symbolize re birth. Ie...resurrection of Christ.
Is that what you are talking about, or do you want to know if I prefer plastic or hardboiled?
