Your post makes me wonder if you
know what Easter really is.  The true
origin of Easter is more about fertility and mother earth than the Bible. 
&quot;The egg was a sacred symbol among the Babylonians. They believed an old
fable about an egg of wondrous size which was supposed to have fallen from
heaven into the Euphrates River. From this marvelous egg - according to the
ancient story - the Goddess Ishtar (Semiramis), was hatched. And so the egg
came to symbolize the Goddess Easter,&quot; The Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. 9, p.
309.  Three month old infants were sacrificed to Ishtar and their blood
was used to dye eggs in honor of the false god.  To imbue fertility upon
their growing season, Pagans would roll these eggs on their fields.  The
eggs were then hidden from evil spirits to later be collected in
baskets.

The Scriptures teach that Christ was crucified on Passover (the 14th of the first Sacred Hebrew month, Nissan) and rose on Wave Sheaf (the 16the of Nissan), not on the pagan holiday of Easter/Ishtar, which was observed centuries before Christ by the pagans.



Neither the apostles nor the
Messiah commemorated Easter.  &quot;Constantine the Great, Roman emperor,
convoked the Council of Nicaea in 325. The council unanimously ruled that the
Easter festival should be celebrated throughout the Christian world on the
first Sunday after the full moon following the vernal equinox,&quot; says the
History Channel.  And thus had begun the mingling of paganism with
Christianity.  For the first 300 years
after the Savior&#039;s crucifixion, the early church kept the festival of Passover
as commanded in Leviticus 23.  As Paul
wrote in I Cor 5:7, “…Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.”  Every tiny minute symbol of Passover points
to Christ the Messiah.


 


So these symbols for Easter in this blog are correct.  If you want
symbols of Christ’s Resurrection you need to look for symbols of Passover and
Wave Sheaf, but you won’t find them on a secular website.
