[quote=Anonymous]Easter bunnies were never part of Catholicism. They have German origins and some say it was Martin Luther himself who introduced them. In fact, when the German immigrants brought the custom to the US, some American +Catholic churches condemned them until someone basically argued "what harm does it do?" Still the Easter bunny in Europe is still associated with Lutheran areas. Eggs became associated with Easter because they were one of the foods prohibited during the 40 days of Lenten fasting. So on Easter people celebrated by eating eggs--which were more plentiful in the diet of poor people than meat.[/quote]
