Well its celebrated as the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Easter bunny and egg hunting was stolen from Ostara, a Pagan celebration.

Rabbit hunting season is here! :D

All about the death and resurrection of Christ. Rolling an egg down the hill signifies the rolloing away of the stone

That Jesus died and rose from the grave, so that all who believe and trust in Him for the forgiveness of all their wrongdoings or sins, believing that He paid their sin debt, will live with Him now and forever.

It means spring is here. The origins, the name, the bunny, the eggs, etc are all pagans, who originally celebrated the resurrection of another 'god': "Pagan religions in the Mediterranean area had a major seasonal day of religious celebration at or following the Spring Equinox. Cybele, the Phrygian fertility goddess, had a fictional consort who was believed to have been born via a virgin birth. He was Attis, who was believed to have died and been resurrected each year during the period MAR-22 to MAR-25. "About 200 B.C. mystery cults began to appear in Rome just as they had earlier in Greece. Most notable was the Cybele cult centered on Vatican hill ...Associated with the Cybele cult was that of her lover, Attis (the older Tammuz, Osiris, Dionysus, or Orpheus under a new name). He was a god of ever-reviving vegetation. Born of a virgin, he died and was reborn annually. The festival began as a day of blood on Black Friday and culminated after three days in a day of rejoicing over the resurrection." http://www.religioustolerance.org/easter1.htm It's an earthly holiday, bigger than any single belief system. You can choose to celebrate whatever you traditional have on that day but can celebrate the real aspects of it with no religion involved.

It is a time for merchants to sell lots of candy, chocolate rabbits, jelly beans, baskets and decorating and hiding of eggs. It's all about fertility.... rabbits... eggs. They have nothing to do with Jesus Christ. http://www.watchtower.org/e/rq/article_11.htm

Here is some information for you on Easter from at least two perspectives... http://www.religioustolerance.org/easter.htm

One more big day of donations for the church. Woo hoo!

Most Christian rites are also pagan. Jesus's words were plagiarized from Buddha, who was the true prince of Peace. There's books out on it.

It means that thanks to an old story, my mum buys me a buttload of candy. Great holiday.
