What does the lamb has to do with Jesus at Easter?
Throughout the history of mankind – as told in the Bible – the way for a person to restore their relationship with God is to acknowledge their relationship with God is broken and to offer a blood sacrifice (a lamb).
In the early history of mankind this is what people did. For example:
Exodus 29:39 One lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer at twilight.
God chose the nation of Israel to be His representatives on earth. Israel was supposed to show the other nations what a relationship with God is like. But Israel turned from God and His ways and followed other gods.
So God came to earth as a man – Jesus – and died as the ‘lamb of God’, a sacrifice for the sin of all who believe.
John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
If a person believes this, the Bible says God forgives that person and gives them eternal life.
1John 5:11
And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
1Johnn 5:12
He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
Easter is the time when Christians remember Jesus' death as the 'lamb of God'.
This eternal life is a free gift. To receive it you only have to believe Jesus is the saviour of the world.

What is the meaning of Easter in the Pagan tradition?
The word "Easter" originates from the Old English word "Eostre" or "Eoaster", which refers to "Eostur-monath" or the month of Eostre, the pagan goddess of dawn for the Anglo-Saxons. This month was roughly equivalent to April, which is often the month Easter occurs during in modern days. Also, the goddess Eostre is connected to several Germanic folk customs such as hares and eggs, which have carried over to the Christian holiday of Easter. Scholars speculate that the feasts held in honor of Eostre in pagan religions evolved into the Christian celebrations of Easter, the rising of Jesus from the dead.
Many religious historians also say that pagans worshipped a god named Attis (sometimes also known as Tammuz), who was born from a virgin and died and was resurrected, which the pagans celebrated around the Spring Equinox every year. These attributes are very similar to that of Jesus, whose resurrection Christians celebrate on Easter. Historians believe that the pagan traditions/beliefs were transferred onto Jesus to make Christianity more acceptable to the pagans. Thus, Easter was likely a pagan celebration originally that evolved into the Christian holiday we know today.
