    There is none.

    But people have taken pagan traditions and attempted to graft them on to Jesus.

    The connection is there. But it is only in the minds of those who do not know the will of God.

    The Christian hoiliday schedulers tried to coopt another pagan holiday, with reasonable success - but a few traces of the old fertility rites and symbols remain.

    Think of it as a colonization. The ruins remain for children to play in.

    David Sedaris has an account of a class of people learning French, in France, attempting to explain Easter to a Muslim womn in the class, all in French naturally.

    IIRC the back-translation went something like "He nice, the Jesus, and this time we be sad because somebody make him dead today. The rabbit of Easter he bring of the chocolate. He come in the night when one sleep in the bed. In the hand he have the basket and foods. " Hate to vandalize the original, but that's ballpark.

    I was taught that eggs are new life, just as Jesus rising from the dead is new life. Eggs also represent the trinity as one thing. The white of the egg, the yolk, and the shell. Father, son, holy spirit as one.
    I don't know when coloring the eggs and easter baskets started.

    Apologies for being an anally retentive old fuck, but shouldn't that be the Rabbit Jesus' cloaca?

    Attention to detail, this is SCIforums.

    I enjoyed easter as a kid. A light holiday. Playful. Colors.
    Scientists may mock the religious with it and anal christians will think of it as evil, but children and pagans know better because they trust their own experiences. Neither stupid nor sinful....gosh, wasn't there something Jesus said about getting into heaven and being like a child....?

    Pretty clever. Just like the Jews did to previous pagan worship of nature, just like Muslims did with their previous Gods. Just like Tibetan Buddhism. Religion undergoes evolution just like animals, sometimes swapping genes, recombining with errors, additions and subtractions.

    I prefer to look at it as pagan desires undermining repressive regimes, either internalized or external.

    jesus was a rabbi. the word rabbi comes from the word rabbit because jesus was originally a rabbit

    I though the symbolism in Watership Down was Buddist.

    Zoroastrian.

    Not the Bud, but the Egg - Eggist. Only the Dog had a Buddist nature.
