Actually, the Christian holidays are pagan in origin -- the early Christians tried to overlay their beliefs in an attempt to win over the pagans (and it mostly worked). Eggs are a fertility symbol -- and celebrating the arrival of spring as a fertility ritual -- long predate Christianity.

Might as well ask why Christianity has gotten away with "censoring" pagan tradition, from Samhain to Saturnalia. :->
