Jesus did not die on this day, yet a greater man. One who's fate led his him to fall in the arms of the most knoble men. This man is Humpdy Dumpdy. In his honor we over-consume and hide eggs.
this.. lol and the celebration of Easter (the date, eggs, rabits, etc) all are related to pagan rituals; google is your friend
well since the Torah mentions much of the pagan origins of easter and the rest is a matter of history I will assume you are referring to the resurrection aspect of Beaster sunday.
