Tomorrow, millions will wake early for Easter, engaging in traditions like Easter egg hunts and rolls if the weather permits. Children's attention will be captured by searching for Easter eggs, a custom steeped in ancient symbolism. The egg, emblematic of germinating life in early spring, has roots in paganism, representing fertility and rebirth across various ancient civilizations including the Romans, Gauls, Chinese, Egyptians, and Persians. It was revered in rituals, dyed, exchanged, and even believed to hold special powers, such as warding off evil when buried under buildings. The Easter egg, alongside the hare, was a symbol of the Norse Goddess Ostara, tied to fertility. In Babylonian mystery religions, dyed eggs played a role in sacred rites, and legends spoke of an egg from heaven hatching the goddess Ishtar. Over time, the egg became a universal symbol of Easter worldwide, painted and adorned, yet its origins trace back to pre-Christian spring festivals celebrating the earth's renewal after winter.

Dyed Easter eggs, steeped in ancient pagan rites, are a stark contrast to the true observances commanded by God. These eggs figured prominently in the Babylonian mystery rites, just as they do in modern Easter celebrations. Historical records reveal that the ancient Druids bore an egg as a sacred emblem of their idolatrous order. Eggs held a sacred place in many ancient civilizations, forming an integral part of religious ceremonies in Egypt and the Orient. They were hung in Egyptian temples as symbols of generative life, and dyed eggs were sacred offerings during the spring season, a time associated with birth, both terrestrial and celestial. This custom, devoid of any biblical foundation, is a clear reflection of heathen practices that have been adopted under the guise of honoring Jesus Christ. God calls such abominations, urging His people to turn away from these pagan traditions and return to the true observances He has ordained.
