If We were meant to have Christmas tree's i think the Bible may have mentioned them and tinsel and 5 pointed stars which represent Nimrod/Tamuz.
Interesting to see why There is a 5 pointed star (Pentegram) used in Satanism to represent the 5 elements of Satanism.
Anyway.... i reckon if Jesus wanted to us easter eggs or bunny's as part of the Resurrection story, he would have.
Easter eggs and Bunnys have a long relation with paganism, they are complete pagan origins. I say this with confidence.
Eggs are a symbol of Fertility and have a long Pagan myth behind them i will be glad to give you more information about ... I have done lots of research about it
