In Sweden Easter is a big mix up between the religious and the pagan. Little kids are dressing up as witches on their way to "Blåkulla" a mountain where they´re to meet Satan, although the kids aren´t really aware of the whole story. The just dress up, knock on doors in the neighbourhood and get candy.
Luckliy there´s no trick or treat business in case you don´t have candy at home.

Ironically, halloween (a mock of pagan tradition) and christmas (originaly juletid or Jól) too.

I thought the eggs were in relation to the boulder that jesus put infront of the cave?

and the whole egg rolling down the hill thing was cause some women stole the boulder and ran down a hill with it

Yep, into the middle of a free music concert. Quite an original way to mark Easter!

Here's a better picture of it earlier on:

When I think of a paladin sword I think of a Two-handed sword, or at least a Longsword. That's certainly no two-handed sword, as the hilt is much too short, and even for a Longsword the handle is too short. And I have a hard time believing this could be a Holy Avenger, as those tend to be much more detailed on the decorations and special effects.

No way, man! If you do that, you'll be holding it by the blade. You'll cut your fingers off!

Hehe... yeah, I know it does look sorta like a hammer. But only sorta.

[Karmillo]

It's moreso the fact that eggs are a symbol of new life.
