Happy Easter?

- Look, I'm just saying that somewhere between Jesus dying on the cross and a giant bunny hiding eggs there seems to be a gap of information
- Stanley, just dye your goddamn eggs!

Сегодня я полдня провел выясняя каким же образом крашенные яйца и кролик связанны с воскрешением Иисуса. Естественно никто из верующих людей не смог мне ответить на

Почему тогда кролик эти яйца прячет и дети потом их ищут?

Я брал из другого источника
Bunnies, eggs, Easter gifts and fluffy, yellow chicks in gardening hats all stem from pagan roots. They were incorporated into the celebration of Easter separately from the Christian tradition of honoring the day Jesus Christ rose from the dead.
According to University of Florida's Center for Children's Literature and Culture, the origin of the celebration - and the Easter bunny - can be traced back to 13th century, pre-Christian Germany, when people worshiped several gods and goddesses. The Teutonic deity Eostra was the goddess of spring and fertility, and feasts were held in her honor on the Vernal Equinox. Her symbol was the rabbit because of the animal’s high reproduction rate.
Spring also symbolized new life and rebirth; eggs were an ancient symbol of fertility. According to History.com, Easter eggs represent Jesus' resurrection. However, this association came much later when Roman Catholicism became the dominant religion in Germany in the 15th century and merged with already ingrained pagan beliefs.

В православии кроликов нет=))) Так что по православию все объясняется легендой об Марии Магдалине.

В католицизме - через язычество.

Да я кстати пытался вспомнить, были ли дома кролики - вспомнить не смог. Помню красили яйца, но чтобы приходил кролик и их прятал - такого не было.

Видимо католики решили пойти дальше :)
