Some Christians beleive Easter is a Christian Holy Day. Others do not. What the apostle Paul says about this is practical....

Col. 2
Freedom From Human Rules
16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. 18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind. 19 They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.

20 Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: 21 “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”? 22 These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings. 23 Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.

Aspects of today’s Easter celebration are undoubtedly the result of the secular commercializaton of Easter after many decades. It’s hard to guess how the non-biblical searh for colored eggs originated imo.

John 1:29 The next day he *saw Jesus coming to him and *said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

Behold, the Passover Lamb, slain from the foundations of the earth, who took away the sin of the world!

Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb, slain from the foundation of the world.

There are plenty of clues, for him who has an ear to hear. YHVH did not come in the flesh to do away with himself. Yeshua is the living Torah. His sheep follow Him, they want to live like Him who kept the Torah, all the days and ways of His life.

All the Christian celebrations mix pagan customs and Christian symbols. Santa and Rudolph. Bunnies and colored eggs. More fun for kids.

I should have kept my mouth shut. I’ll be careful that the door doesn’t hit me on the way out.

One could say the same type of things about Christmas. The decorated tree and the yule log were both ancient Druid customs. Then there was this thing about shepherds abiding in their fields which probably meant Jesus Christ was born in the early spring, or later.

But I prefer to contemplate the true meaning of the day just as I do with Easter. Maybe I'll even make an exception and darken the doorway of a church, despite my very mixed feelings about organized religion.

yeah. equates any symbolism with evil.

In psychiatry this is called “concrete thinking” and a sign of mental disease.
