The Easter Egg - Mary Magdalene & Ostara - Extra Mythology

Easter is a revered holiday that has been celebrated for a millennium and is often associated with Christians. But there are other, older traditions mixed into the festivities. And one very peculiar detail: Almost all celebrations center on colorful eggs. We're here with two very different stories that both show the symbolic importance of the egg and where an egg-laying bunny even comes from.
