Easter eggs - check out the pagan fertility origins-excerpt below WARNING IT’S NOT GOOD:
Semiramis, the queen of heaven, was “born again” as the goddess Easter (Ashtarte) as she emerged from a giant egg that landed in the Euphrates river at sunrise on the “sun” day after the vernal equinox. To proclaim her divine authority, she changed a bird into an egg laying rabbit.
As the cult developed, the priests of Easter would impregnate young virgins on the altar of the goddess of fertility at sunrise on Easter Sunday. A year later the priests of Easter would sacrifice those three-month-old babies on the altar at the front of the Sanctuary and dye Easter eggs in the blood of the sacrificed infants.

Yow!
I had known some of that, but had not known some of those details. :-(
Thank you so much for sharing this. I had wondered about this abomination but couldn’t find the truth. Now I will go back through and fit another piece (BIG one) into the history of child sacrifice.
still researching (of course) but came across this:
