And what better symbol of the continuing circle of life is there than an
egg? Think about all the generation/re-generation that is contained in a
single egg...the egg hatches, grows into a chicken which lays another
egg which hatches into another chicken...on and on ad infinitum. And
Easter is all about life.



Blessings in Christ's mercy,

Happy Easter to all and a happy spring equinox as well. <br><br>Both
eggs and bunnies represent fertility. The notion of rebirth.
Easter<br>used to be two days after Passover but the council of Nicea
established<br>Easter as the first Sunday after the first full moon
after the spring<br>equinox. Eggs began as part of this holiday first
and then in northern<br>Europe the idea of good kids having a bunny
deliver colored eggs during<br>the night came later. The spring answer

enjoy a chocolate easter bunny instead

is it the Easter BUNNY leaves<br>Easter EGGS?...... bunnies don't lay
eggs, that's the chickens
