Hey @nehab, thanks for this lovely comment and beautiful flowery wishes for the spring season!

I respect the spirit and sentiments related to the custom of Easter Eggs and agree with your lines:

Most of the social customs are a result of topography, need and time relevance. Hence they become obsolete after some time. They need to undergo change .

Custom of Easter Eggs is relatively new ...I think it was 18th century when this hare visited USA from Germany. Yet, in my humble opinion, the representation of egg for the birth of a new life is not being respected and is completely forgotten. In fact, practice of Easter Egg validates the wide use of eggs in our society.

I don't agree with your idealistic stand of

Easter Egg DOES Not embody the ritual of "eating eggs" or sacrifice or cruelty to animals.

Whether you’re decorating them, eating them, or both, there is no denying it: eggs are a huge part of the Easter season, growing in popularity and consumption every year.

• Egg sales typically increase by 1.4 percent at Easter annually. (USDA)
• The average person consumed two dozen eggs at Easter in 2014. (USDA)
• The average household consumed five dozen eggs at Easter in 2014. (USDA)
• In 2014, egg sales were up 10 percent vs. the 4-week Easter period in 2013, and up more than 32 percent from 2012 egg sales. (Nielsen)
• In 2014, Easter egg sales (in dollars) were up by $29 million from the 2013 and up more than $64 million in sales from 2012. (Nielsen)

This wouldn't be true if people respected the original tradition of eggs relating it to "new birth". In fact, they are doing just the opposite. They are killing the baby even before it comes into existence ...which in my understanding represents the killing of Jesus ...the murdering of His spirit of compassion and love.

So this whole tradition of Easter Eggs need to be abolished. There are several better ways to represent the spirit of new birth.

Just like eggs, the same is applicable for lambs too. I've read about dinner parties which prominently include lamb flesh on this occasion.

All these doesn't mean that I'm against the spirit of Easter but we need to embrace that spirit in practice and spare innocent beings (atleast on this very occasion).
