I was told that the egg symbolizes the boulder which the women rolled away when they went to Jesus's tomb and found him gone. But it seems there are many ideas.

Let's ask Wikipedia.

Quote:

The egg is widely used as a symbol of new life just as a chick might hatch from the egg.

Another Orthodox tradition is the presenting of red colored eggs to friends while giving Easter greetings. Based on a History channel documentary about Mary Magdalene and her role in Christianity, the custom derives from a supposed extra-Biblical event. After the Ascension of Christ, Mary supposedly went to the Emperor of Rome and greeted him with "Christ is risen," whereupon he pointed to an egg on his table and stated, "Christ has not risen no more than that egg is red." After making this statement it is said the egg immediately turned blood red.

As for the easter bunny, whatever it has to do with easter.. lol Apparently rabbits are animals fo great fertility, and being spring some people decided to make some money off it?
