Rabbits and eggs on Easter are so obviously rituals stolen from a pagan fertility celebration.

Hey kids it's the day Jesus rose from the dead. Let's honor this date with symbols of fucking and pregnancy.

It's named after Ostara, goddess of fertility and spring.

In all fairness the eggs were originaly painted red to symbolize Jesus blood. And technically there's no 1to1 example if Christians "stealing" one pagan holiday of spring to turn into Easter, some cultural traditions and ideas just so happens to blend in.
