i would like to know who came up with the Easter bunny concept and why,it has nothing to do with Easter ,nor do eggs or bunny's for that matter,i'm not trying to sound like the grinch who stole Easter, but i think we should teach our children the real meaning of Easter,not tell them about a so called rabbit that goes around leaving eggs everywhere , also how did they combine eggs and a bunny ,as far as i know chickens go together with eggs ,and rabbits with carrots ,so where did the egg theory come from??????

Great post. I was going to ask the same thing.How can you go from Christ dying on a cross to the Easter bunny. It doesn't make sense.

The bunny has softer paws so he won't break the eggs and he can hop, thereby covering a larger territory!
All holidays are commercial and are used to stimulate the economy. My husband calls them Hallmark holidays! Many of the rituals were started in ancient times and have been manipulated to make the cash registers ring. The concept of giving (especially to our children) can coincide with the true meaning of each of these Holy Holidays.
As long as the children are taught the difference between the "fun celebration" and
Christ Born/Christ Risen, I don't think there is any harm in Santa, Bunny or Colored Eggs.

I don't know about the bunny, I am guessing it is more to do with spring and um - fertility?
but the egg is definately Christian oriented. During the times of persecution Christians would exchange eggs as a sign of faith and fellowship.
It represents Christ in the Tomb.
