The same one as santa.
The easter bunny is just for fun and has nothing to do with the holiday.

Commercialism that is where the Easter bunny comes from. The things of God have been replaced by things of the world and celebrated because of mass advertising for commercial reasons. Easter isn't in the Bible. However, it always celebrated after Palm Sunday when Jesus made his Triumphant entry into Jerusalem, that Friday is good Friday when the Lord was Crucified . We know that historically because these two events are documented. Then on Sunday Christ arose from the grave. That is why Christians love Easter because we serve a risen Savior. Not because of the Easter bunny. Or new hats or dresses or new suits or shoes. That came about to signify the new birth of a Christan after conversion.

In English, the word "Easter" is hypothesized to come from an ancient pagan goddess of the spring named Eostre, related to German Ostara. According to a popular piece of folklore, Eostre once saved a bird whose wings had frozen during the winter by turning it into a rabbit. Because the rabbit had once been a bird, it could still lay eggs, and that rabbit became the modern Easter Bunny.
Christians have adopted many Pagan rituals; the Christmas tree being another common one...
The idea of an egg-laying bunny came to the United States in the 18th century. German immigrants in the Pennsylvania Dutch area told their children about the "Osterhase". "Hase" means "hare", not rabbit, and in Northwest European folklore the "Easter Bunny" indeed is a hare, not a rabbit. According to the legend, only good children received gifts of colored eggs in the nests that they made in their caps and bonnets before Easter.

In none of them. The Bible never mentions rabbits, and never mentions easter.

The same bit as the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus and the Bogeyman under the Bed! The bible's got more fairy stories than the Brothers Grimm!

All the Christian holidays seem to be plagued with something unchristian like Santa Claus or the easter bunny. If you lie to your child about such things, they will someday believe God is a lie too.

Well I believe it's the chapter where Christ is crucified on the hill beneath which is a large rabbit warren.
And children eat chocolate at easter because the colour of chocolate matches the colour of the wood of the cross....
Allright, you tell me then.....

None. But then you knew that.
The rabbit is a Greek pagan symbol of fertility.
Under the Mosaic law, the rabbit is an unclean animal because it chews its cud but doesn't have hooves.
Rabbits are rodents, BTW.
