Answer;
Easter is pagan Babylonian festival that derives it’s rituals from the pagan worship of goddess Easteroth (Eastre, or Ashtoreth).
Easteroth was worshiped as the queen of heaven, the mother of nature
and the diety of spring time by the pagans.
In the ancietn worship of this goddess, people (pagans) used to sacrifice young babies and pigs, by putting the killed babies upon the lap of this idol as illustrated in the picture.
And this was done so that the blood from these babies may run down towards her feet and paint the eggs red that they had put on the platform before her feet.
The easter eggs represented the human cycle of life.
The blood which ran down from the idol eastre’s lap, running down her feet, which painted all the eggs red,
represented the misfortunes of life that makes people (women) to miscarriage or abort their purpose in life.
The Easter bunny represents the sexual energies of wild passion, which makes people to behave sexually wild, engaging in orgies or group sex; like unto the bunnies during the season of spring time.
In the book Judges 2: 13-15, Ashteroth – Easteroth brought a spirit of poverty, distress,
defeat and God’s wrath upon Israel .
In fact this is where the painting of eggs on Easter derives its rituals from.
In the celebrating of Easter eggs are painted to symbolize the spiritual meaning of Easter.
Easter falls in the season of spring time, commemorating the pagan counting or census, which begins on easter and finnishes on the celebration of the pagan festival of may pole.
