3 We celebrate Easter because on that day Jesus Chris rebirth It has deeper and more complex associations than Christmas, particularly in the Orthodox

4 Some countries color their eggs with some colors like Red, Green, Blue, Yellow or Purple. The Red paint is used for the blood of Jesus and some people do a cross on their face too. The eggs are symbol Of rebirth

5 Where did the name Easter come from? Pagan traditions give us the English word "Easter" which comes from the word "Eostre". The Anglo-Saxon word for April was "Eostre- monath" (the month of openings). However, it should be remembered that Christians celebrated the resurrection of Christ long before the word "Easter" was used, and the word they used for the celebration was "Pascha", which is derived from and linked to the Jewish festival of Passover.

6 Where did the bunnies come from? Before in the old days the people tried to explain their religion to the children but it was hard for them to understand so they invented the bunnies so it would be easier.
