How did eggs get associated with Easter?

267 views

It’s not like a (Easter) bunny can lay eggs. Also I don’t recall any egg/chicken references in the related Bible stories (except maybe the rooster). So how did the celebration of Easter with eggs came about internationally?

I was taught that the egg represents the Trinity & it was something devout Catholics gave up for Lent. So, you would be able to eat an egg on Easter morning in remembrance of the Godhead. It’s all crazy but to each his own….. My Grandparents were Eastern Orthodox and we would have a big Easter basket that was blessed by a priest with all kinds of traditional foods that supposedly represented Christ’s sacrifice & resurrection. 🤔
