This is why the Easter Bunny still builds a nest and fills it with colored eggs every year. The Easter Bunny supposed- ly springs from pre-Christian fortility ore. The rabbits, and hares were then symbols of abundant new life in the spring season. This is just one example of the symbols of Easter. Other symbols of Easter include the Lamb, which next to the cross itself is probably the most im- rtant symbol of Christianity. s symbol stems from the He- brew word Pesach, the Passo- ver feast celebrated on April 10 this year, when lambs were sac- rificed in memory of the deliver- ance of Isreal from Egypt some recognizable symbol of the sea- son. Chocolate or candy Easter eggs turned up only af the end of the last century but the giv- ing of real eggs, colored or gild- ed,isamuch older custom. Long before the Christian era eggs meant life and resurrec- tion. Early Christians viewed eggs as obvious symbols of rist's resurrection, and were appropriate gifts at Easter. The eggs were blessed in Easter cer- emonies. Christians shunned them during the long fast of Lent, but joyfully ate them again on Easter day and then gave them to friends, servants, and family members as presents. Coloring eggs may well be as old as Easter itself as it was known in England during the Middle s.

For more than 1,600 years the feast of Easter has marked the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Easter as well as Christmas are the two most cel- ebrated of all Christian seasons and holy days. The Easter season is not sim- ply a Christian story, the name spri from an arttient and non-Christian God. Long before the birth of Christ, the d Northern Jourgleghe paid hon- or to Eostre, their goddess of light and spring with a popular festival in April that celebrated the death of winter and the birth of spring. The name Easter was incor- rated into the Christian re- igion in the eighth century, to . be used as a name of celebra- tion of Christ's resurrection. Easter messages tend to be warm and complimentary. Many refer to springtime re- newal, hope, friendship, and family relationships. In case there is question as to when Easter falls, it is al- ways on the first Sunday after the first full moon that follows March 21. If the full moon rises on a Sunday, Easter day falls on the following Sunday. Easter never falls before - March 22 or after April 25.
