"The hare, the symbol of fertility in ancient Egypt, a symbol that was kept later in Europe…Its place has been taken by the Easter rabbit" (Encyclopedia Britannica, 1991 ed., Vol. 4, p. 333).
"The origin of the Easter egg is based on the fertility lore of the Indo-European races…The egg to them was a symbol of spring and rebirth. In Christian times the egg had bestowed upon it a religious interpretation, becoming a symbol of the rock tomb out of which Christ emerged to the new life of His resurrection". (Francis X. Weiser, Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs, p. 233)
"Around the Christian observance of Easter…folk customs have collected, many of which have been handed down from the ancient ceremonial…symbolism of European and Middle Eastern pagan spring festivals…for example, eggs…have been very prominent as symbols of new life and resurrection" (Encyclopedia Britannica, 1991 ed., Vol. 4, p. 333).
