Various theses exist about the origin of Easter.

One of the hypothesis for example claims that the holiday’s name comes from the spring goddess of the Germans called Ostara. Therefore, the belief that Easter true origins are hidden in the pagan beliefs and celebrations of the upcoming spring rooted long before the converting to Christianity. Believe it or not, our favorite Easter bunny and the traditional colorful Easter eggs come exactly from these old pagan traditions. The Easter bunny, for example, comes from the symbol of Ostara. She was regarded as the goddess of fruitfulness, which is why spring is the most fruitful period of the year. Eggs also symbolize fruitfulness and new beginnings, because behind the of shell of an egg hides a new life. Others claim that the origins of this tradition are to be found way back in the ancient history. A not so well-known fact is the egg was worshiped in ancient Egypt as a world-origin. In Greece and Rome, eggs were also a sacred symbol for the change of the day-and-night balance and also for the official beginning of the year. It’s also interesting to mention that in ancient cemeteries eggs were often found because of the belief that they made a resurrection from the dead possible…

Tt is well known that Easter is a very important Christian holiday. On this day, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. It’s origins root way back in the history of Jesus Christi resurrection 3 days after his crucifixion… a real wonder! But this makes us wonder why the coloring of eggs has become such a popular Easter tradition? We already discussed the role of the eggs. However, the question of the coloring remains open. According to different sources, coloring in red symbolizes the shed blood of Jesus. And by coloring the eggs in red we continue to honor his sacrificial death. Later, the other colors came into play, updating this old tradition.
