Easter and Bunny?

[UrbanWolf]

What is the story of Bunny and Easter day? Almost 8 years living in US but I still can't make the connection, and I never asked about it before.

The bunny comes and hides the eggs. Duh.




(OK. Seriously, I have no idea.)

I prefer the Hugh Hefner version of bunny.

Nah, this is better.

But rabbits don't lay eggs. That is what always bothered me as a kid.

It's the pagan spring fertility festival. Bunnies and eggs are both symbolic of fertility.

It's complicated and not all that important. Celebrate Easter for the true reason and ignore the commercial trappings.

THIS! I had to tell someone off yesterday talking crap about Easter... he said the holiday was "stolen" by the Christians and was originally a pagan sex holiday called Ishtar. I told him, if it was stolen then we would be calling it Ishtar, not Easter... Easter is the day we celebrate the Resurrection of Christ, at least that's what I do, so I celebrate it for that, other religious beliefs can do as they please.
