ITs a perfectly valid holiday. Its the day when we hide eggs to appease the will of Jesus, who on this day, rose from the grave to FEAST on the brains of the willing!!
a lot of christian holidays are either copied from or on the same day as a lot of pagan holidays
When the catholic church started to spread all over the world, they would go into a new region and "adopt" their customs. They realized that the pagans weren't going to quit celebrating easter or any other holiday they'd be celebrating for hundreds of years, so they scheduled their holiday to be on the same day, stole the name and adopted the traditions. Easter eggs? Symbols of the trinity, of course.
They did this with almost everything.
Christmas? Winter Solstice. The pagan god Kris Kringle, Santa Clause. Why the fuck decorate trees on Christmas? It has nothing to do with jesus.

I never knew that. Sure, Catholic upbringing, but that's still interesting to know. Nothing the churches do really surprises me.

I know it. Christmas is actually the slaying of Adonis (which means "lord" and is the placeholding name for the god of the pre babylonian culture, which founded babylon) I cant remember the original gods name. Anyway. The slaying of him by cutting down a tree in the forest, preferably coniferous. then the yule log still symbolizes him and you burn it in the fire place and then the tree represents this gods rebirth.

that isn't to say that the catholics didn't believe in what they preached or that they had bad intentions, it's just what they did.
For instance, all the old church hymns, like amazing grace, are to the tune of drinking songs. Because everyone already knew them. Take something "bad" and make it something "good".
In their minds, they were doing the same thing with the holidays.
anyways people will always be looking for some silly deity for guidance and there will always be crazy nuts who exploit it. Im not sure why you're singling out christianity for this one

The Romans were better at it.
The romans were all like, "fuckin, that's cool. Take it. It's ours now. Hey, let's break theirs before we go."
