    Easter eggs, and the inclusion of an egg into a springtime religious festival has been around long before the beginning of christianity. However, with any religion using eggs, the symbolism has always been the same - that is the symbol of rebirth. So in the instance of Christianity, and the resurrection of Jesus, the inclusion of eggs into the holiday is showing the symbolism of rebirth, and new beginnings.

    Here are a few pages with the history of easter eggs:

    • Acts 15:20"abstain from things polluted by idols",no matter how you justify it, it is still a pagan symbol.
