Rabbits and eggs are both common fertility symbols in pagan cultures, and the vernal equinox is generally a fertility holiday. Add in the supposed aphrodisiac power of chocolate and the whole Easter celebration starts looking a lot less religious and a lot more smutty.
that is all very interesting ( i guess ), but i asked you what Church has any doctrinal belief concerning this?
i guess the answer is NONE.
the “whole Easter celebration” as you call it is all about Jesus Christ dying for our sins and rising from the dead on the third day and ascending to His Father.
sure does make the devil mad, doesn’t it?
