The hare was a popular motif in medieval church art. In ancient times, it was widely believed (as by Pliny, Plutarch, Philostratus, and Aelian) that the hare was a hermaphrodite.The idea that a hare could reproduce without loss of virginity led to an association with the Virgin Mary
Since easter is based on an ancient fertility celebration, symbols of which included eggs, bunnies/rabbits, baskets, crucifixes, long grasses, etc. I guess you could say bunnies have nothing to do with Jesus, because easter has nothing to do with Jesus. Passover and Jesus, yes. Easter and Jesus, no.
bunnies are a symbol of fertility, which encorporates them into Easter
No. We do not celebrate any holiday but the Memorial of Christ's death because no where in the Bible does it speak of celebrating Jesus ressurection (or Easter). And today, Easter is not about Jesus. It's about eggs and bunnies--what does that have to do with Jesus?
The beginning of the new life when Jesus Rose from the dead
Not normally, but any new life could be related to Easter as it celebrates Jesus coming back to life. Chicks and bunnies are just cute and everybody likes them! :)
Easter eggs represent Jesus' resurrection. Bunnies lay eggs therefore bunnies came to the picture of Easter
When thinking of Easter, people often associate it with the resurrection of Jesus Christ, religious traditions, Easter eggs, bunnies, and springtime celebrations.

Chicks,bunnies,lambs But the real importance and meaning of Easter is remembering all of the great this the Jesus has given us, and the day of his death.
While bunnies are real animals that belong to the order of lagomorphs, Easter Bunnies are a fictional character associated with the Christian holiday of Easter. Children believe that the Easter Bunny brings them chocolate eggs and treats during Easter.
