| Do you every wonder how Easter originated? There're a myriad of theories, but the most accepted idea is this one:
During the early spread of Christianity, many Pagan holidays, instead of being replaced, were being assimilated. Spring represented rebirth and resurection to many early pagans, so they created a day of celebration honoring the pagan goddess Eostre. Eostre represented fertility, and had a rabbit's head because bunnies like to... eh... propagate. During religous conversion, they choose to keep the holiday, but renamed it and changed it's meaning. After evolving over the eons, the Easter Bunny became a slight retainment of Eostre. But the holiday also revers Jesus's resurrection, and this event fits nicely into Easter. It's till a theory, but it's likely that it's what happended. Just thought ya'll like to know.  (Last edited by Trigger Happy Jones on 04-17-06 01:21 AM) |

| Easter is the easter bunnies birthday. It dates back since the beginning of time. It's the one holiday everyone can enjoy. That's why Jesus resurrected himself, so he could look for his Easter eggs.
