Some Christians celebrating the holiest day of their year may look askance at baskets of decorated eggs and mad dashes for chocolate bunnies. But these Easter traditions are more than a takeover of the holiday by the card and candy industries.
To be sure, there is commercialism. An estimated 80 million Easter cards will be exchanged this year, and a record $2 billion will be spent on Easter candy.
But Easter eggs are a part of the rich symbolic thread of the Easter story.

Thank you!
Y'all c'mon-a-my-house for some traditional Peep Fondue.
You're very welcome.
Many years ago the school newspaper at the University of North Carolina at Asheville published a cartoon with the Easter Bunny nailed to a cross. The Baptists were so outraged they gathered all the newspapers from the newspaper stands and burned them. So much for tolerance of the Christian Community. The cartoon was just pointing out how twisted the holiday had become.
It's an Easter smore!
Happy Easter to you and yours.
Thanks!
They just burned newspapers. Apparently no heads were lopped off or buildings and people blown up. Sounds pretty tolerant to me, under the circumstances.
How does it honor Jesus Christ to celebrate the holiday of his enemies?
When I became born of God and was baptised, I immediately knew that all the holidays are a slap in God's face.
What you've read above is an article by the Satanic spin doctors of religion.
ya got any pink ones...? ; )
my kids go to Catholic school and several years they used plastic eggs in an egg carton, in which to put little symbols of the Easter story-- a small stone to represent the stone that was rolled in front of the tomb, a piece of palm branch for the story of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, etc. then the 12th egg was left empty to show He was risen and that the tomb was empty. The secular can be used as a tool to explain the divine. I believe our Savior had a sense of humor and i believe He would enjoy one of Martin's Peep s'mores and not find it remotely a slap in His face : )
A Happy and Blessed Easter from my "peeps" to yours...
