'tis a Pagan holiday. look it up. It actully was very important, until the Christians stole it.
****ing Jesus. I mean bunny.

Rabbit soup has to be more substantial than chocolate eggs, right? And please, would someone inform me as to why it's a rabbit and not a chicken that delivers these eggs? I think someone got confused shrug
A rabbit was a sign of a good harvest and of some goddess in Paganism (forget which one). The hiding of the eggs and the chocolate as well both come from paganism.
The holiday really isn't Christian at all.

So, eggs as a concept are used to represent new life? And the bunny to represent a good harvest? No wonder people get confused, I mean, bunnies don't lay eggs 馃槢
Seriously though, it's quite sad that a lot of people (myself included) are so ignorant to the origins that they try to form a direct link between the bunny and the eggs 馃槵
