Answer 1

To Jehut who answered your question, she states "...Esther was a woman in the bible" ..... where she got that from who knows??????
Many religious historians believe that the death and resurrection legends were first associated with Attis, many centuries before the birth of Jesus. They were simply grafted onto stories of Jesus' life in order to make Christian theology more acceptable to Pagans. Others suggest that many of the events in Jesus' life that were recorded in the gospels were lifted from the life of Krishna, the second person of the Hindu Trinity.
The Easter Bunny is a rabbit-spirit. Long ago, he was called the" Easter Hare." Hares and rabbits have frequent multiple births so they became a symbol of fertility. The custom of an Easter egg hunt began because children believed that hares laid eggs in the grass. The Romans believed that "All life comes from an egg."
Why we dye, or color, and decorate eggs is not certain. In ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and Persia eggs were dyed for spring festivals. In medieval Europe, beautifully decorated eggs were given as gifts.

Answer 2

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 earthly symbol was the rabbit, which was also known as a symbol of fertility. Originally, there were some very pagan (and sometimes utterly evil) practices that went along with the celebration. In our day, Easter is almost a completely commercialized holiday, with all the focus on Easter eggs and the Easter bunny being remnants of the goddess worship.

Answer 3

I watched a program on the history channel this weekend which stated: When Mary Magdellan discovered that Jesus was no longer in the tomb, she then saw him walking again, at this point she had an egg in her hand which turned red. Many believe that this is the reason for coloring easter eggs. The Easter Bunny part is a mystery.

Answer 4

Rabbits were old Pagan symbols of fertility and rebirth in spring. The Christians later adopted it as the symbol of Christ's reincarnation after his crucifition. So, that, and the Easter egg represent the holiday, and have been changed to appeal to children. (The Easter Bunny will bring good little children candy)

Answer 5

Esther was a woman in the Bible. The Easter Bunny is just a fun tradition for many.

Answer 6

Eggs and hares are both traditional symbols of fertility. They were part of ancient spring fertility rites, in certain areas celebrating the goddess Oester, but similar rites and celbrations were held throughout the barbaian world.

The Easter celebration was a Christian replacement for these rites. Some of the trappings were adopted for the Christian celebration.

Answer 7

They are secular parts of Easter. I think the egg represents new life (baby chicken) and the bunny I think is just a made up child's thing kind of like santa clause

Answer 8

Um if your asking right Fertility ... Spring the start of a new Season
