same here....
on tv this evening: "Q: what does easter stand for?", someone said: "birthday of the easter bunny"
PS: did you know the chocolate stuff, bunnies and stuff actually come from the non-christian celebration of spring and stand cymbol for renewel etc (thus in parallel with Jesus resurrection), 'easter' also comes from the name of the goddess of dawn.
And this year Easter is even very special since both the orthodox christians and catholics, and Jews celebrate easter on the same date (all use a different calender)
"Danku voor die bloemen"
Happy Easter...
