If you really want to know why the Easter mascot is a bunny, here you go...Christ's death was just prior to Passover, not Easter. In fact, the Bible Itself states that Christ was/is our "Passover Lamb" and Joseph of Arimathea hurried to put Jesus in a tomb because the sun was about to rise on a new day/Passover. It was prohibited to work at all on Passover, so Joseph could have been thrown in prison. Easter comes from the word Ishtar, a goddess of fertility. The eggs have always symbolized fertility. The bunny rabbit symbolizes (believe it or not) sexually orgies that were performed for the goddess. "Quick like a bunny" is unfortunately where that phase came from. I mean, even look today...they are called Playboy BUNNIES! If THAT's not sexual, I dunno what is. Unfortunately, bunnies have symbolized sexuality for a LONG time.
Scary, huh? Certainly NOT Christian or holy.....
I am angered that our Lord's name was put to such an unholy holiday...

sure, i visit. i visit additionally say that no longer merely do I say chuffed Easter, yet I additionally say, chuffed Resurrection Day. For it rather is because of this we have fun the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus. without the resurrection we would have had no desire. we've a desire on the grounds that He has conquered loss of existence and Hell. Hallelujah to the Lamb that became slain and rose lower back 3 days later. he's alive.

It's easy to search on the internet, but its basically the day that Jesus rose from the dead and first spoke to his disciples, I think.
