The Easter bunny???? Where do dying eggs for Easter come from? Is Easter a pagan holiday? Mark Shea's Facebook page has a post that explains it all.
Easter was not a pagan holiday. Pagans have lots of holidays, you probably can't celebrate anything without it being coincidentally somebody's holiday and Spring is something to celebrate no matter who you are.
Where did the Easter bunny come from? Well, look at all the bunnies out on your lawn in the Spring season. It's mating time the bunnies are out.
Where does dying eggs come from? Fasting rules up until our times were stricker. That means not only no eating meat but also eggs--other stuff too. But all these eggs laid during Lent were piling up, what do you suggest we do with them? Let's have a contest to see who can make the prettiest!
