Its bc, like Christmas, the holiday was coopted from old paganism. The spring time is a time of rebirth for the Earth, and both eggs and rabbits are a sign of fertile. Jesus is resurrected (reborn) from being killed by the romans as is the earth from being killed by the winter
'Believing' something is false is no different 'believing something is true. Without "facts you 'opinions' about a thing are based on 'faith'. Neither of which proves you right or wrong. These media figures are paid to perpetuate an anti-Christian bias.(read: sold their souls) Were the same resources used to denounce Christianity used to denounce poverty pedophilia, homelessness, hunger and war the world would be a much better place. That they are not, is proof that satanic forces are in control.
Easter was originally a pagan festival. There was a goddess Eostre who, if I remember correctly could transform into a hare, and the eggs were a sign of fertility and renewal. The Christians purloined the pagan festival and merged their own festival, the resurrection of Christ, with the pagan one to encourage the pagans to take up Christianity. They did the same with Christmas which was originally simply a celebration of mid winter.
I was going to comment about eggs and rabbits being a sign of spring, birth, and renewed spirit from pagan rituals. I'm actually surprised that more people don't know that since it's been on several shows by now. In fact since I'm a baby boomer I remember learning that in middle school.
Now they are trying to steal Yoga from us Hindus. Have you heard of Christian Yoga? This is relatively new but 500 or 1000 years down the line, it will look like part of Christianity.
A good question that your daughter asked you and I love it! Because that way we should know what the meaning of what we celebrate is , she is adorable ❤❤❤
The rabbit's origins can be traced back to an old German legend, exported to the USA by German immigrants in the 18th century, which tells of a mother who, lacking the means to offer her children sweets, decorated eggs and hid them in the garden on Easter Day. When the children went "egg-hunting" in the garden, they spotted a rabbit and thought it was the rabbit who had laid the eggs! Another origin comes from Saxony, Germany, where the goddess Eostre was celebrated at the time of the spring equinox. Her emblematic animal was none other than... the hare! Easter is named after this goddess.
PASSOVER. It's because of PASSOVER. Eggs are a symbol of fertility. The Catholic Church muckered it all up. And please remember that the vast majority of religious holidays are modeled after Pagan practices.
Ummm... i think you guys are really overthinking it. 😅 In the wild/countryside, the baby bunnies are usually born in the spring time. That's why bunnies are common spring time theme for artists, naturalists, farmers, etc. Like pumpkin harvesting season in autumn.
@bunz.gaming Yes when I was a child I'd asked alot of questions and my father would say "sometimes you need to try and figure out things for yourself instead of asking so much questions",I guess tht was his way of sometimes sayin he doesn't know🤷♀️😂😂 but he had a point and I did eventually try figuring stuff out on my own tho😊

To convert pagans to Christianity, they placed certain dates on the pagan festivals. So Winter solstice/winter festival is Christmas. Spring festival is Easter. Which is why the eggs/rabbits at easter, but also Holly and Ivy at Xmas.
Only half right here. Easter is the ONLY Christian religious day that is an accurate time. It goes by the Jewish calendar which goes by the moons cycle. That's why Easter is never on the same date.
@@gabriellegunton8620the Chinese and the Muslims also follow the Lunar calendar 😊. Chinese New Year moves every year, so does the Eid, and that why we have 2 birthdays the Lunar Birthday and the Gregoriano Calender ones hahaha in the lunar tradition we are already 1 year when we are born. So we add 1 year to our Gregoriano calender age when talking about our lunar birthdays and years.
@gabriellegunton8620 wouldn't christmas still be a Christian holiday on accurate time. It's a birthday that's why it's on the same day every year unlike Easter which goes based off the moons
My kids asked these kinds of questions and I loved it. The simple answer to give is that everyone is from somewhere different and in those places they celebrate holidays differently a lot of times. Here in America we like to try to celebrate everyone's holiday spirit in a way that is familiar to them. That way we get to share the best of everyone's holidays!
Nothing in the Bible says that bunnies and eggs have anything to do with Jesus’ resurrection. Very smart of her daughter to raise the question. She’s certainly not gullible 👍🏼
Salma Hayek, Blake Lively, Emily Blunt, Anne Hathaway, Amy Adams, Julia Roberts... All of them are extremely beautiful, lovely, energetic and simple mothers... Wow, like those gems...
There was some ancient goddess of fertility called Aester, or something, and eggs and bunnies are symbols of fertility and re-birth. I learned it from the book "American Gods" by Niel Gaimon
I can SO relate to Salma’s daughter. We teach our child that it’s just a cute thing people like doing but it’s the lamb stew and red eggs that remind us of the biggest sacrifice ever to be known to mankind ❤
I’ve explained this to my children by telling them it’s a pagan origin.Easter is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christmas is celebrating his birth. Details / depth depend on age of child ❤🙏🏻
She is raising her daughter(s) to be inquisitive. Smart Mom, smart child. I love her way of always inserting humor in every conversation. She’s so entertaining and beautiful ❤
Your daughter is very wise. There is no connection, there was a fertility goddess named Estera & her symbols were the rabbit & the egg because rabbits are very fertile. So they combined that celebration with the resurrection so that the Babylonians & Assyrians could continue their celebration
Salma Hayek had the answer inside her body and she wasn't truthful to her daughter at all. Bunnies resemble cuteness ✅ A woman like Salma Hayek gives cute bunnies (cute boys) a purpose ✅ As the eggs symbolises multiplying ✅ Salma Hayek is the perfect baby factory 🌹
You couldn't be more right and a tree with presents and bunnies and chocolates eggs and such are just marketing tools for business profit has nothing to do with one another same thing Coca Cola did to become as famous as they are, we don't collect candy and celebrate witches, ghosts and demons either but we do celebrate all Hallows Eve and the day of the dead, one has nothing to do with the other

The days before easter are supposed to be days of fasting. On Easter christians break fast. However the fasting part has been alsmost completely phased out in practice. To celebrate end of fast in some countries they were putting colored eggs on the table. Then chocolate became popular. In some countries it was told that church bells which aren't used during the three days before easter were going to Rome and upon their return bombarded garden with chocolate eggs. In other countries it was a bunny that brougjt the eggs.
I think just because Easter is in spring and we see bunnies again in spring after not seeing them in the winter. I have heard people say that Eggs represent "new life", but as a Christian I think that is a stretch of a connection. She asks a very valid question.
When a question like that pops up, I say to my children, "I don't know, let's find out together." Parents do not need to know everything, but we can teach our children to find the answer.
I believe the is reason is this; Due the fact that mostly all animals give birth in Spring as well as crops, flowers, grass, etc… start to regrow and flourish. Winter months are extremely harsh for all living beings and survival is tough. Life, death and rebirth (resurrection).
The egg is a symbol of the soul and abundance regardless if you're a pagan or a Christian. The rabbit was for eating. But we don't eat rabbits anymore so they turned into a icon.
As a child my pastor said the symbol of the bunny was that they produce a lot of babies, linking them to “everlasting” life, and the eggs were also a representation of life, but at Sunday school we received empty plastic eggs to symbolize the empty tomb of Christ with the message “He Lives” on the outside of the plastic egg.
I am not a Christian (am Muslim) but we learnt it in our religious studies class. Egg symbolises a new beginning and there’s also a story which I don’t remember well about why you colour the eggs.
Just like Christmas swallowed the pegan festival of the winter solstice, Easter did the same thing with spring. It's a celebration of new life. Whether your God is coming back to life, or you recognize the importance of the symbol of the egg, or you know that rabbits procreate at a comical rate, you are celebrating life. It's springtime! Flowers are blooming (to procreate), birds are singing (to attract a mate), the weather is beautiful (perfect conditions for making life)...❤❤❤
She’s a very smart girl… I have never understood the connection either.

It's the resurrection of jesus, equals rebirth, renewal, therefore eggs and bunnies.
