What Does The Egg Represent?

Easter Sunday is considered the most important Christian holiday. It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ three days after his death. It is popularly celebrated with egg hunting and toy bunny rabbits.

Easter eggs represent new life or the sealing of the Tomb of Christ and their cracking symbolised His resurrection from the dead. Many people or families celebrate the Easter weekend by decorating Easter eggs.

The Easter egg represents fertility and re-birth, and it has its origin in pagan practices. It was adopted as part of the Christian Easter festival and it came to represent the resurrection or rebirth of Christ after the crucifixion. An egg's outer shell makes it look lifeless, but within it houses new life, just like the tomb of Christ.

The Easter eggs represents the Lord Jesus Christ’s resurrection. Just as Christ broke out of the tomb on Easter morning, the yolk of the egg breaks out of its shell when cracked. Generally, the decoration of eggs for Easter is part of the folk traditions of many cultures, although it has little or no religious significance any more.

Easter eggs symbolize the tomb from which Christ emerged and the hatching of the chick represents new life....
