Ishtar was a pagan goddess of fertility and "Ishtar" is where the word "Easter" originated. Makes sense now, huh - what could be more representative of fertility than eggs or rabbits? And what could be further away from the very foundation of Christianity?
I grew up celebrating Easter with eggs and candy and dresses and going to church, but I wasn't given the reasons why. I guess I never asked, but what child would question the motives of adults when there's candy involved?
My tip to you this Easter: find your spirituality and understand it. Seek your truth. It doesn't matter if it's Christianity or Judaism or Islam or Buddhism: Really learn the foundations of your beliefs and study them and understand them and believe in them and practice them.
And my most important tip to you: Teach all you know and all you have learned to your children. They may not be asking, but they want to know.
