I don't know, but the Easter bunny is delicious. Love rabbit meat.
Is the Easter Bunny pagan?

Oh, i know this.
Painting Easter eggs was a custom of mesopotamian Christians(today's Assyrian Church of the East) that spread to the rest of Christendom, because its fun.
And rabbits were once believed to have been capable of asexual reproduction(which is why you see them with the Virgin Mary in medieval icons).
Its just religious symbolism that didnt pass the test of time(and consumerism didnt help) unlike stuff like the Jesus fish.
As a sidenote, peacocks(believed to have had incorruptible flesh) and phoenixses(need i explain more?) were also christian symbols in Antiquity.

Video explanation of non-pagan (but secular) origin of "Easter bunny". Also explains how Ostara-Easter "goddess" connection is specious at best, if not outright hogwash.

I would have sworn to have seen on a Catholic television channel saying that the Easter eggs and the rabbit were of pagan origin.
Carter Diaz
If it was a catholic tv program that said that, it was probably the eternal """jesuits""" striking again.
Nicholas Evans
I saw a Catholic church that had papers describing the history of Marian veneration, calling it "worship" and saying it comes from pagan goddess worship.

Whatever makes you think your church isn't a desolate wasteland, man.

You can thank Martin "Jesus fornicated with Mary Magdalene" Luther for you thinking that.
Not my fault you hate Jesus and His Church.

How could it be anything but hogwash? It's only called Easter in English. In latin, the language of the Catholic Church until V2, it's Pascha (which in turn derives from aramaic then hebrew pesach for passover)
