Why is there so much focus put on eggs and bunnies? What about Jesus? Jesus is the reason for the celebration. He died and rose again on the third day. His ressurecting from the dead is the whole reason for celebrating. I think society has lost focus on what is really important.

most, if not all christian holidays were originally pagan holidays. the romans adopted their ceremonies to trick them into converting. some religion.

We live in a world of symbols (ie marketing). Bunnies, chickens, spring, tulips, all those things - the Easter bunny is just another marketing scheme to buy stuffed toys and chocolate! The last big "splurge" was the heart - Valentine's Day!

"Liberal efforts to undermine the uniqueness of the Christian revelation via claims of a pagan religious influence collapse quickly once a full account of the information is available. It is clear that the liberal arguments exhibit astoundingly bad scholarship. Indeed, this conclusion may be too generous. According to one writer, a more accurate account of these bad arguments would describe them as 'prejudiced irresponsibility.'" --Ronald Nash http://www.bible.ca/trinity/trinity-pagan-christianity.htm

The Christian religion is so unique, that it put certain events on days fitting to at that time already existing pagan celebrations (the expression pagan is what is stupid), which even historians confirmed. It is common knowledge in Europe, which is taught at schools for a long time even, and Christianity was a Europe-based religion, last time I checked. Maybe the Christians in the U.S.A. live in a different universe, but it is a fact, which not even the Vatican denies. Not that "believing" Christians ever cared to take one look at history or at newspapers, or they would see that the Christian God set a good example with his policy of "killing is the best solution for everything", including, why did Jesus have to die at all, for the way his followers behave. There was no real need to even waste one life God took, if he is really the merciful God his followers want to make us believe. But look at the deeds of the Christian Church to open our eyes, crusades and "accept Christianity or die"-policy leading up to supporting Hitler and again, killing in the name of God nowadays... I prefer to celebrate easter with cute bunnies and eggs as symbol of fertility! -- A baptized Christian who is intelligent enough to understand a written sentence and is deeply disappointed of Christianity

Everyone above a) a funsucker...dear lord, it's just a fricking holiday. Who cares about who started it, why they started, what your next door neighbor might believe about it? Have some fun. b) has too much time on their hands to gripe about...well, ridiculous things no one cares anything about. c) shouldn't be looking at the easter food section. Sincerely, a kid

It's funny how dumb everyone sounds... especially those who are arguing the pagan viewpoints... gammorha... you're quite ignorant. Perhaps, you should study more. Lol. I think Easter is fun, like the other few and smart posters on this page. Anyone who commented on Easter being a pagan holiday. Wow. You are wrong. The Easter Bunny is a pagan symbol. Not Easter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter
