Why we have easter eggs at Easter

Pastor Stephen Trautwein, Mawson Lakes Community Church

We worship every Sunday @ 10.00am. EVERYONE WELCOME!

Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the spring equinox (which usually occurs on 21 March) in the northern hemisphere.

Easter is not the celebration of the beginning of spring. It is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

Like a number of Christian symbols, the easter egg had its beginnings in the seasonal cultural pagan festivals and rituals of the northern hemisphere.

The egg is a symbol of fertility and new life and signifies the beginning of spring - the season of new life.

Christians have taken the symbolism of the egg associated with spring and applied it to the resurrection of Christ from the dead.

From the outside the egg appears dead, and yet life comes from the inside as the chicken breaks through the shell.

Christians see a tomb as the place for the dead, but the tomb of Jesus is the tomb of life. Life breaks out from the tomb of death through the resurrection of Christ.

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! (Luke 24:1-6a TNIV).
