To Christians Christmas is the celebration of the birth of our saviour Jesus. Easter is the day Christians celebrate the risen Christ, after his death on the cross. What very few people are aware of is that both of these 'Christian holidays' are in origin ancient pagan holy days. Christmas is associated with the winter solstice, Easter was the ancient celebration of fertility. This is why Easter is symbolized by eggs (fertility) and bunnies (procreation).
