Hmmmm, Eoster was the Roman goddess of morning whose sacred offerings were rabbits and eggs. Her festival was on the vernal equinox. Nothing to do with a Christian celebration at all until the Council of Nicea changed the date of celebration of the cruxifiction to move it away from the vile Jew holiday of passover. (tongue firmly in cheek there)

The Pagans (long before the Christians) celebrated Ishtar after the first full moon of the spring equinox.
They believed that the Goddess Ishtar came down from the moon in a giant egg.
This was know as ‘Ishtar’s’ egg’
Ishtar, who claims she was of immaculate conception had a son called Tammuz and Tammuz was particularly fond of rabbits. Rabbits became sacred and the rabbit symbol was used during the Ishtar festivals. The 40 days of Lent come from the pagan celebration Lencten, meaning “spring,” in Pagan langauge.
On the final day of lent, worshipers back then ate sacred cakes with the markings of a cross on top and killed a pig to feast on.
The truth is that the forty days of Lent, eggs, rabbit’s, hot cross buns and the Easter ham have everything to do with the ancient pagan religion and only later did the Christians adopt it and change it round to suet them.

Not 100% sure of this, though so far not come across any ancient religion that didn't celebrated spring and autumn equinox.

PS, would love to hear a catholic priest explain away the use of the word 'estrus,' meaning 'sexual desire', and Easter.

It's actually a cunning plan, make them pile on weight with chocolates, then suggest that they should wear latex to "sweat it off" and in addition burn more calories by doing all sorts of naughty things ;)

I must be odd, I really don't like chocolates, I think if I eat a whole bar a year it's much. The milk chocolate stuff is much too sweet, the dark stuff is far too bitter, I'd rather have a pickled gherkin please....
