The pagan goddess Eastre/Ēostre. It really doesn’t matter the symbology around the Easter holiday and how the early Christian Catholic church melded some of the pagan traditions of Europe into the Easter holiday in order to convert the pagans to Christianity. Eggs and rabbits do not detract from the message of the resurrection. Everybody needs to chillax.

There’s no actual evidence for a “goddess Eostre”. It may simply be a word meaning “dawn”, cognate to our modern word “east”.

There’s zero evidence that ever happened. Seriously, there is no evidence any pagan thing was adopted into Christian religious practice to convert anyone in the ancient Greco-Roman world.

Eggs and rabbits are from the 19th century.
