Even with the eggs and bunnies, there's a lot more Christian religion in Easter than in Christmas.

Go to any Church during the Easter/Passover time (it's directly linked to the Jewish Passover and most languages don't differentiate between the two) and you will see quite a bit of reverence. Instead of only two days (Christmas and Three Kings Day if I recall correctly), it's celebrated for upwards of 80 days....the 40 days of Lent prior to Easter and the 40 Days of Pentecost afterwards.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
