I love his voice when he says "Rabbit's don't lay eggs, What is this?"

[delduvath]

Yes, it is really funny!

And why not Jesus?

@emeryfan17 Bullshit! Even the Easter Bunny is the goddes Oestra, who was represented as a rabbit because of the rabbit's fertility ;)

[TheBrazenHell]

I wonder if a christian kids goes, "rabbits don't lay eggs" :p

@emeryfan17 Easter was originally a Pagan festival called Eostre. When the Christians converted the Saxons to Christianity, they took the name of the festival and the date to minimise any anger, Eostre was actually about celebrating fertility. Therefore, @melindajlaidlaw is correct. That is why the dates of Easter vary from year to year, they are calculated to coincide with the traditional dates of Eostre.

@emeryfan17 Christians celebrate Easter not coincidentally the same time that Pagans once celebrated the spring fertility festivals. It all stems from ancient times when spring was the time for new crops and babies being born and new life after the long winter, etc etc. A time of fertility in the land and animals. You can see it in the early history of pretty much any religion when people prayed to "fertility gods" for good crops and many children, etc etc etc.

@emeryfan17 i think he talks about the rabbits and chocolate eggs part...wich symbolizes fertility

[prussia59]

the immaculate conception is the Roman Catholic idea that Mary lived without sin, so that Jesus would be born totally sinless.

O my god, its a comedy routine, back the fuck off, laugh at it. No one gives a shit if its about fertility or bunnies or any of that crap. He's talks about it to make people with even a small sense of humility laugh.

@OsirisIX And from this it is written than a man in a dress who has no knowledge of sex matrimonial or otherwise, will spend most of his waking hours condemning it.

@emeryfan17 Easter has everything to do with fertility. Rabbits and eggs are obvious symbols of fertility, which is why they are associated with the Easter holiday. It symbolizes the return of Spring and the fertile earth bringing forth new life. The word "Easter" itself comes from old Norse "Ostara" who is the goddess of spring and fertility.

The Resurrection of Christ is symbolic of the Sun's "return" on the Vernal Equinox, which is why we celebrate Easter in or around the Vernal Equinox.
