to many Christians, the icons and traditions of most of the celebrations of
Easter are from a pagan, or non-Christian, origin. According to the gospel,
Easter is the celebration of Christ's resurrection and ascension into Heaven.
It is a day of prayer, feasting and penitent worship. Most of the treasured and
valued traditions of Easter celebrations, though, are the work of a much older
pagan religions and simply have been adopted by first the Catholic church and
then, subsequently, by the splinter groups, most prominently the Protestant
sects.
