Best Easter Quotes

Christians have celebrated Easter for centuries, and other symbols and traditions have been incorporated throughout the time since Easter was first recorded as celebrated in the 2nd century. 

First, eggs became a universal sign of life and rebirth in many religions for centuries. For Christians, it signifies the rock tomb from where Jesus emerged and eternal life. For Persians, it is a must-have item on the table during their version of New Year, Nowruz. 

Next, rabbits and hares gained their place and became synonymous with Easter since they symbolize fertility which originated from the Egyptians and Greeks. Meanwhile, German Protestants created the Easter Hare that brought eggs and chocolates to children. Other Easter symbols also include ham, bread, hot cross buns, lily, and lamb.
