Cosmo talks from the 4th Dimension on SYMBOLISM

The Lord Jesus rose on the third day symbolizing new life and more importantly a new life in perpetuity for those who accept the Lord Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. The number of early Christians understandably was very small and basically an underground movement. Their Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ had just been crucified and they were in fear of admitting their association as His followers as did Peter denying at the third crow that he knew Jesus.

Because of their fear of the Romans and the Jews at that time they adopted the EGG as a Symbol among them to mark the crucifixion and convey secretly their identity as followers of Jesus Christ and became known as Christians.   

As the eons of time passed and their group grew, people being people, decided that as the Egg held a prominent place in their homes they would decorate it. As they continued to do this the decorations became more and more elaborate and have ended up with what we know today as the Faberge Egg.

The mistreatment of the Lord Jesus by the Jews is a graphic demonstration of the Lord God’s understanding of man’s inhumanity to man which is the basis of multitudes of stories and plays which continues on today.

With the passing of each generation the Symbolic Eggs’ Spiritual significance is being abandoned and we see it more and more being replaced with the pagan belief of Chocolate Rabbits and Hot Cross Buns.  

The corollary of this is that the Egg today is devoid of any Spiritual or Esoteric significance.

As a matter of interest, Hot-cross buns were originally developed by the small bakers in England and France to increase the profit turnover in their little shops. Eventually through their marketing strategies of the time these shops became associated with Easter for commercial purposes and we end up with what we have today.
