I’m not even surprised by how many Christians have no idea that the vast majority of their holidays ripped off pagan traditions. Christians used to “convert, conquer and kill” to spread their religion. Then they switched tactics and just started scheduling their holy days to coincide with the pagans. It’s easier to get people to convert by letting them keep their traditions than by threatening them with death.
So Missy. Bunnies and eggs have nothing to do with the crucifixion/resurrection. They represent fertility and new life. The feasts and celebrations traditionally coincided with the spring equinox and could last weeks.
So, Christians piggy-backed to illicit pagan conversion. Because, frankly, there’s no way a wafer and bad wine can compete with banging like bunnies, gorging on rich foods and making babies.
This is so historically inaccurate that it’s almost funny. European converts to Christianity called the feast day Easter because of their pagan tradition, but the Paschal feast existed long before that happened. There were crossover traditions kept, but the Church was fine with comfortable symbols being used in some cases as long as they didn’t introduce a new meaning to the feast. Unfortunately, some members of the early Church did carry out forced conversions which is not something the Church stands for. However, thankfully Christianity has led to many societies to become more civil. The countries that embraced Christianity as a whole historically have become more tolerant and less violent than other societies.
Also, I hate to break it people, but secular forces have caused more war. For example, communism has killed countless people and still today claims lives. Communism is one of the most destructive forces to human beings and is not held up by the Church.
So while, no, bunnies have nothing to do with the Paschal feast, they were carried over by converts. And the feast was being celebrated before the European pagans started carrying their traditions over into it. It was not taken from them...
