Can you document any connection between Easter and rabbits prior to 1500? Since Easter was celebrated for more than a millenia before that time, how can you use Easter bunnies to justify calling paganism a "root" of Easter?

Have you got any books on Celtic myths yet? There may be something related in those as the Gaul's / Celt's were Known to eat there dead loved ones.
Quote:- 'You may be interested to know that early Celtic priests were often practising druids as well. There is a surviving texts written in Old Irish, by a Christian monk, from the 7th century that refers to Christ as "the great Druid". . . . they simply incorporated Christian ideas as they learned about Christ.'

<<<< secret member of the Peeps Club. How sly of you to have SS dig her own grave with your requests.
Happy Easter! Enjoy those Peeps. My mother loved Peeps. She was so excited when they started making them for holidays other than Easter. I once brought her a package of snowmen Peeps around Christmas and she was as excited as a kid on Christmas morning.
I'd encourage SisterSunshine to examine the pagan roots of dying and rising gods while she's at it.

@ProfMTH I believe it would be more of an impact if believers wear masks of Lambs and fish to embrace the animal totems associated with Christ while taking part in communion. Jung would say this would enhance the experience in the conscious mind. LOL

Do peeps and chocolate rabbits count as "food offered to idols"? They are in a the shape of important pagan symbols.
