*Reverend Lovejoy appears to forgotten that the Easter Bunny and eggs become a part of Christian tradition as a sight of fertility and new Life because birds lay eggs and rabbits as well as hares give birth to a new generation in the early spring. The coloring of eggs dates back to ancient times when the Greeks when dyed their Easter Eggs with blood as a sight of renewal of Life. This tradition was around before the time of Christ and to remember of his time. This was to honor the fallen, and other colors of the rainbow were added as a symbol of good luck. This was soon adopted by the Christians, and the Easter Bunny and the eggs tradition goes on toward this date.
