  1.  @yinyangsaladgang8789  The Church didn't do the egg hunts and stuff though. Easter, as far as the Catholic Church is concerned, is a special Mass followed by a feast like most holidays. It was the pagans turned Christian that added the rest to combine their traditions with their new religion. While it's true that the Church didn't pushback against this combination, mainly because it was local priests and missionaries rather than the Church handling these areas, that doesn't mean the Church is responsible for the combination that occurred. While you can certainly make the argument Easter falls where it does to align with previous pagan holidays, it really makes more sense that every religion celebrates the changing of seasons and these holidays were just Christianity's version of that rather than that the Church incorporated these holidays for pagans. Judaism also Mark's these occasions and they certainly weren't trying to lure people to their religion. It's really a chicken or egg argument, but it's more plausible that these celebrations existed already in Christianity and the pagans were the ones that combined their old traditions into the new religion. Edit: We know that the resurrection was extremely important to the early Christians, before the Church came to be. They marked their graves with the fish symbol (to represent a whale for Jonah and the whale story) to signify it. It was on the graves of very early Christians in Jerusalem and it's been found in symbols on floors that would have been hidden by a rug.
