most of our easter traditions have to do with the spring equanox celebrated by pegans, the bunnies and eggs symbolize fertility which is part of spring.

Watch the South Park episode 'Hare Club for Men' (or 'Fantastic Easter Special') and all will become clear! Very clear.

The bunny tradition started because at the passover, jesus created the first chocolate bunny.

Who cares about zombies, rabbits, zombified rabbits, etc? It's all about the chocolate!
