While its true that Christianity "borrowed" the season from paganism, Easter in our modern age is defined as: "The celebration of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead".

I don't think there are many pagans around anymore to celebrate the type of 'easter' before Christianity.

So why all these rabbits and eggs and hullaballoo..

I seriously pity the children who recognize the easter bunny more than jesus christ.
