It’s interesting to see how Easter symbols relate or are influenced by other things. Passover, for example, is a Jewish feast that typically falls the week before Easter, and for a long time was the date on which Christians based the placement of Easter each year. The Last Supper was either just before or on Passover. Jesus entered Jerusalem for the last time, welcomed with open arms and celebration, on Palm Sunday. Lent is 40 days prior to Easter, during which Christians fast in preparation for Easter.

On to the Easter symbols.

Young animals, such as chicks, represent new life, as do eggs they are common Easter symbols. Eggs are a strong symbol of spring, and have been for generations. Eggs are also strong symbols or representations of the tomb of Christ from which he rose. Chicks break out of eggs to begin their new life on Earth.
