I'm Jewish, so I don't know much about Easter eggs.
Most people outside of America won't get it. It's the Easter bunny. It's another lie and I don't understand why we had to invent this character.
I think the thing about Easter holidays in particular is you don't know what the weather's going to be like.
The resurrection of Christ is one of the foundation stones of Christianity. It was the seal of the great work that He came on earth to do. It was the crowning proof that the ransom He paid for sinners was accepted, the atonement for sin accomplished, the head of him who had the power of death bruised, and the victory won.
Easter, so longed for, is gone in a day.
People come together with their families to celebrate Easter. What better way to celebrate than to spend a few hours going on the journey of Christ's life.
Belief in the resurrection is not an appendage to the Christian faith. It is the Christian faith.
Easter is never deserved.

For practicing Christians, Easter Sunday and the Holy week that precedes it are the apex of our faith. Without the resurrection of Christ there is no Christianity.
The Christian religion begins with a dream and ends with a murder.
