Easter is named after Eostre, a Pagan goddess, and her patron animal was the hare or rabbit.

@RandomForest It fascinates me where Christianity has 'borrowed' (and corrupted) it's celebrations from.

@Quizzical Well, when you are subjugating a people it's easier to do it without an army if you use religion.
