Easter is a mix of three traditions: Pagan, Hebrew and Christian. The Pagan part, relates to the Easter Bunny and the Easter egg.The origin of the rabbit icon, or Easter Bunny, comes from the fact that rabbits are notable for their capacity of abundant production of young especially at this time of year. The use of Easter eggs has its roots in the characteristic of eggs laid in great numbers in the spring being colored like rays of the returning sun and the northern lights. There is also a long tradition of decorating Easter eggs and giving them at Easter.
As for the Hebrew tradition, Easter just happens to fall on the same day as Passover, a tradi tional Jewish festival.It was at the feast of the Passover in Jerusalem that Jesus, a Jew, was crucified and rose from the dead. A name for Easter, therefore, is Pasch, with various spellings. Churches throughout the East and West celebrate Easter as a major feast ranking with Christmas, witness the "hot cross bun" or boon distributed among the faithful. There is no indication of the ob servance of the Easter festival in the New Testament bible, or in the later writings by Christian leaders.The first Christians didn’t celebrate it as a Christian event at all. They continued to ob serve the Jewish festivals, though in a new spirit, as commemorations of events, which those festi vals had foreshadowed. Thus the Passover, with a new conception and became the Christian Easter.
