How did rabbits and chocolate eggs get associated with Jesus rising from the grave?

We raised rabbits when I was a kid. Trust me, you DO NOT want to eat the chocolate eggs they make 😂

I forget the story, but some kind of mess up with the pagan traditions of fertility holidays the Christians incorporated into their celebrations when they co-opted them into their religion. Much easier to just claim the old religious holidays as your than to try and start new ones. Same happened with Christmas.
