The Cross
Not just a symbol of Easter, the
cross is probably the most
common symbol of Christianity.
It symbolizes the sacrifice Jesus
made to die for the sins of
mankind. An empty cross
without the figure of Christ
crucifiedreminds Christians
of Jesus victory over death and
the new life and hope this
victory brings to those who
choose to follow him.

The Lamb
Jesus is associated with the
lamb. Jews celebrate the
festival of Passover to
commemorate the blood of the
Passover lamb, which caused
the angel of death to pass
over the Israelites. John the
Baptist called Jesus the Lamb
of God, who takes away the sin
of the world (John 1:29).

Easter Eggs
Ever since the chicken or
the egg came first, people
have decorated eggs to
celebrate continuing and
renewed life. Christians
began using eggs to
symbolize the rebirth of
mankind, and they liken
the egg symbol to the
tomb from which Christ
arose.

The Donkey
Jesus entered Jerusalem on a
donkey in fulfillment of the
prophecy in Zechariah 9:9.
While many believe that Christ
rode on a donkey as an example
of humility and meekness,
others observe that it was a
perfectly respectable ride.
While horses were animals of
warthe mounts of
conquerorsdonkeys were
ridden by non-military people of
rank. So Christ came, not as
conqueror, but as the messagebearer of peace.

The name Easter

This word has an uncertain
origin. Some believe its
derived from Eastre, the
name of a Teutonic goddess
of spring. Others claim it
comes from the old German
word for dawn. Whatever
its origin, it has clearly come
to be Christianitys greatest
event, an annual celebration
of Christs resurrection.
