According to Christian Beliefs Easter is a time to Commemorate resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The reason Easter is celebrated with eggs is because eggs are an ancient symbol of new life and have been associated with pagan festivals that spring.

Easter eggs are said to represent Jesus' emergence from the tomb and resurrection.

I like easter a lot, I often make some heartwarming gifts for my family. If you are interested, I recommend that you have a look at those lapel pins you can make on https://www.pinsource.com/custom-lapel-pins/die-struck It is really cool to create your own design of some unique gifts for your family. I think you will find it interesting to you too, good luck :)

Since I am Jewish, I do not celebrate Easter, because I celebrate Passover. This is the Jewish holiday and not celebrating it, is a sin!
