Before the egg became closely entwined with the Christian Easter, it was honored during many rite-of-Spring festivals. The Romans, Gauls, Chinese, Egyptians and Persians all cherished the egg as a symbol of the universe. From ancient times eggs were dyed, exchanged and shown reverence.

With the advent of Chrisianity the symbolism of the egg changed to represent, not nature's rebirth, but the rebirth of man. Christians embraced the egg symbol and likened it to the tomb from which Christ rose.

See I dont celebrate Easter in the christian sense, it was originally as Tam was saying a pagan celebration celebrating the start of spring (hence why its celebrated on a different day each year depending on the moons position - not very christian) Hence eggs and bunnys etc which are symbols of fertility. I like it cause it gets you in the mood for the summer months, and new birth and new life in nature etc.

Christmas is a bit more pointless really if your not christian, although this is also taken from pagan and other ancient tradtions that got converted to christianity.

So we have fun without stuffing our faces with cocolate, we do egg painting and egg hunts, and have it all family time, visiting parents etc, we had OHs mum and partner round today and tomorrow we are at my mums for dinner with my brother and his family, my gran and aunt.
