holy cow!! i actually know the answer to this question!
easter is usually celebrated during the spring equinox which is a huge deal in "pagan" religions. the catholic church picked this time to celebrate the resurrection of christ to try to "cover up" the pagan rituals and practices.
one of the major goddeses that was worshiped during this time wast "ester" (or some variation of the name) and was said to have come forth into the world in an egg (and ester egg). i'm pretty sure she had something to do with sacrificing rabbits, but don't quote me on that!!
if you think about it easter is not the only "christian" holiday that corresponds to equinoxes or solstices.....all saints day, (didn't catch on) in the fall and christmas on december 25th.....(do you really think jesus was born on dec. 25th??)
anyway, hope that helped!

Yes. I have pondered the easter bunny thing many times. What matters is how you celebrate the resurrection of Christ. Doesn't mean you have to do the whole easter thing if you don't agree with it. But yes, the easter bunny thing is so stupid!

It's a wonderful story. I really like the part when Jesus rolled the rock back and stepped out and, seeing his shadow on the ground, knew there was six more weeks of winter.

You are exactly right! Unfortunately, America usually adopts (for a lack of a better word) other countries holiday traditions.
