happy easter!

it's resurrection Sunday! Jesus is alive....and eggs are everywhere again.

so, how did Jesus and eggs became associated anyway, especially during easter sundays?


Easter has said to come from the word Eostre, Osatara or Ishta, which are variations of the name of Pagan Goddess of Spring.

 Easter is always on the first Sunday following the full moon that occurs on or following the spring equinox, which is an important celebration to culture and beliefs and was held years before Christ.

and for eggs...Eggs have been the symbol of Fertility throughout the ages. Christians sees it as symbol of new life...which brings us back to resurrection of Christ, and God's gift of new life to us in exchange of His holy son's life. During the Middle ages, decorated eggs were given as gifts during celebration of Spring equinox and New year as symbol of new life.

There are other traditions held during the celebration of easter such as easter parade, easter egg hunt, hot cross buns and even easter bunnies. But what ever it means, where it came from, or how it started, it all represent the new, promising, and bountiful beginning of life our Lord gave us.

it's a new beginning.

Happy Easter to us!
