Is "Easter" A Pagan Holiday Or A "Christian" Holiday?

Forthcoming of Easter has a long history. The story was first brought over to America by German immigrants. The bible shows to evidence of Easter bunnies and eggs. Jesus 12 disciples never talked about any such story. Where did Easter comes from?

According to sources, the Easter bunny arrived in America in the early 1700's. The German called these celebrations " Osterhase" or " Oschter Haws". Later America adopted what they call "Easter".

Easter is celebrated on Sunday in the spring and is considered to be a Christian holiday. Most people including some Christian's consider Easter to be a pagan holiday and therefore they do not celebrate. Though most of the Christian community connects it to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The eggs represents the new life. While every religion has its beliefs and reasons of celebration, it leaves no room for judgement.
