Why do you have egg at Easter?
Promoted as a celebration of Christ's resurrection, Easter is actually rooted in false religion. The name Easter itself has been linked to Eostre, or Ostara, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of the dawn and of spring.
Eggs "have been prominent as symbols of new life and resurrection," says the Encyclopædia Britannica, while the hare and the rabbit have long served as symbols of fertility.
Easter, therefore, is really a fertility rite thinly disguised as a celebration of Christ's resurrection.
Would God condone the use of a filthy fertility rite to commemorate his Son's resurrection? Never! (2 Corinthians 6:17, 18) In fact, the Scriptures neither command nor authorize the commemorating of Jesus' resurrection in the first place. To do so in the name of Easter, therefore, is to be doubly disloyal.

How did the Romans decorate Easter eggs?
Eggs in the ancient world were dyed different colors, but they weren't called Easter eggs. They were used in spring festivals. Easter owes its origins to old German mythology and the name came from "Eostre" who is the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring. The festival of Eostre was celebrated at the vernal equinox. The English name of Easter is newer. When early English Christians wanted others to accept Christianity they decided to use the name Easter for this holiday so that it would natch the name of the old spring festival. The fest of Easter was well established by the second century and Constantine called the Council of Nicaea in 325 to decide the date of Easter. They decided that Easter should fall on Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox.
