Easter Egg Origins By Robert Cohan


Easter is a big part of Christian and most of the world’s culture. Its Christian significance comes from the day Jesus rose from the dead. But where does the rest of the celebration fit in? What does a bunny and colored eggs have to do with Jesus? Well, in most cultures the egg represents re-birth and new life (obvious connection is obvious), but it meant this long before Jesus was born on earth. The Nowruz and the Iranians started painting eggs way before Jesus was born. Easter eggs (as previously mentioned) take the eggs symbolism of re-birth and apply it to Jesus.
