The modern celebration of Easter is actually a blending of an ancient Pagan festival with a Christian festival. The Pagan festival was about fertility, based on the fact that many things in nature are born in the spring. Rabbits are notorious for being very fertile and bearing many children, so the Pagans used rabbits at the center of their worship. This is also where the use of eggs for easter originated as well, as eggs are a strong symbol of fertility.
