Description
In Pagan times, many groups of people organized spring festivals. Many of these celebrated the re-birth of nature, the return the land to fertility and the birth of many young animals. These are the origins of the Easter eggs that we still hunt for and eat.
In Christian times, the spring began to be associated with Jesus Christ's crucifixion and resurrection. The crucifixion is remembered on Good Friday and the resurrection is remembered on Easter Sunday. The idea of the resurrection joined with the ideas of re-birth in Pagan beliefs.

Beautiful photos, Kenn - spring is finally here.
It's interesting how so many pagan rituals have become part of Christian celebrations.

I enjoy digging through pagan themes, and learning how their principles have been patched across varied cultures.
Treat yourself well, my friend.
