| Easter, which is a Christian holiday moves because its roots are in a Jewish holiday, Passover, which seems to move due to the fact that Jewish holidays are calculated on the Jewish calendar, which is lunar rather than solar.
The bunny, eggs and other symbols of rebirth and beginnings have to do with pagan symbols which are frequently used in Christian practice, as Christianity sought to replace paganism, many of the old practices, like the bunny and the eggs, which were symbols of fertility for the new planting season, were incorporated so the new Christians wouldn't be giving up their celebrations.
Many of the Christmas holiday symbols are also of druidical extraction, like the yule log, the tree, and mistletoe. |
