Bunny’s revenge…

November 17, 2007 at 6:06 am (Rant, Thoughts)

Random conversation of the day was between myself and my friend Matt involving Easter. Has anyone ever thought of the significance of the holiday, how it started, and the all the crap about the bunnies and the eggs? Well, here is a little history lesson, boys and girls. The idea of the bunnies and eggs, and their relation to easter, comes about from the Pagan religion in Germany, where the both were related back to to the concept of fertility. Since spring is the time of new birth, the common relation was natural. Now, from what I have learned, and could be wrong, when some of the ideas and concepts of the Pagans were mixed into the Christian faith, the idea of continuing on this belief was shared among many Church leaders. Hence, how Easter, the celebration of Jesus’ rebirth, is related back to bunnies and eggs.

Ironic how a Pagan belief, which was scorned and almost destroyed by the Church, shares such practices.

Which brings me to this comic below, that can be found on this webcomic

But soon, there will be revenge ….

Sadly though, the real Easter Bunny has been found dead on the side of a hill….

Have a great night
