No matter how many times these Dunning Kruger effect ideas get shot full of more holes than a clay pigeon at a shotgun convention, they keep coming back up again.
For example, do you know why rabbits and eggs are important for Easter, because in the Middle Ages when Christians used to actually fast for Lent and they couldn't eat them, they would eat them again on Easter in a celebration when Lent ended.

That's not the origin of it, though. You're only going back a part of the way.
The word "Lent" comes from the Anglo-Saxon term "Lencten," which means "spring". Pagans celebrated Spring, long before Christians, with themes of rebirth and resurrection (sound familiar?). What symbols might represent that well? Eggs (birth) and rabbits (fertility).
The name "Easter" is derived from Eostre, a Germanic goddess of dawn, spring, and fertility, whose festival was celebrated around the same time of year. She is also the pagan goddess of fertility for humans and crops.
Again, some more dreck. That Christians celebrate Christ's crucifixion, that happened to take place in the spring, because that's when Passover was, when Jesus was killed by the Jews, that doesn't mean that Christians celebrate a pagan spring celebration. Hockey and basketball seasons overlap too.
All major religions stem from Astrology. So they all overlap. That's the point. Early humans worshipped the sun because darkness meant danger and death. The sun gave life. This evolved into Astrology and into Paganism and the Abrahamic religions and so on. They're all just retelling the same Astrological story, the story of the Zodiac. Jesus is just a retelling of the Zodiac.
Luke 22:7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”
9 “Where do you want us to prepare for it?” they asked.
10 He replied, “As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, 11 and say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 12 He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.”
13 They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.
First of all, no man would carry a jar of water back then. That was a woman's job. This is Jesus referencing the end of the Age of Pisces (What he represents) and into the Age of Aquarius (Which is a constellation of a man carrying a jar of water!) https://www.superstock.com/asset/constellation-aquarius-figure-man-carrying-jar-water-date/4220-21852616
"Follow him into the house that he enters." A "House" is a blatant Astrological term. There are 12 houses and everything in Astrology is organized through the system of "Houses". And so Jesus is simply saying as Pisces is over, follow Aquarius into the new age. Fun Fact: We have just entered Aquarius or are about to, depending on who you ask.
Most major religions used astrology, including Christianity, because they are ancient religions, people didn't have TV to watch at night and calendars on their phones, and they helped them understand the cycles of nature. Thus, as Christianity teaches, understanding nature helps you understand the mind of God, who created it.
The wise men saw the astrological sign, came to Jesus and paid him homage as pagans, and left as pagans after being warned by God not to go back to Herod who would kill them. This in no way makes Christianity an astrological religion.
You're lost in the woods my man.
