Why do you have egg at Easter?

Answer 1

Promoted as a celebration of Christ's resurrection, Easter is actually rooted in false religion. The name Easter itself has been linked to Eostre, or Ostara, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of the dawn and of spring.

Eggs "have been prominent as symbols of new life and resurrection," says the Encyclopædia Britannica, while the hare and the rabbit have long served as symbols of fertility.

Easter, therefore, is really a fertility rite thinly disguised as a celebration of Christ's resurrection.

Would God condone the use of a filthy fertility rite to commemorate his Son's resurrection? Never! (2 Corinthians 6:17, 18) In fact, the Scriptures neither command nor authorize the commemorating of Jesus' resurrection in the first place. To do so in the name of Easter, therefore, is to be doubly disloyal.

Answer 2

Very simply, Christians have eggs at Easter because pagans used to celebrate the coming of spring with eggs (which were a sign of new life and rebirth). When Christianity spread and conquered pagan cultures, the old customs got absorbed into the new religion. This process is called "religious syncretism."

Answer 3

Nobody is absolutely sure... These days we have eggs when it's easter time probably because of a culture or because of a legend.

We have eggs at easter because many generations have brought this idea up

but nobody knows the 'root' of this idea.
