Easter eggs are pagan remnants of older traditions. Before it became Easter weekend, the time of the spring solstice was a celebration of fertility (hence eggs and rabbits). In an effort to convert pagans, the Catholic church put Easter on the same date as "the rebirth of the son" (as opposed to the rebirth of the sun, ie the solstice). Some of the pagan traditions just never quite went away.
