    Not exactly a real pagan history about origins of the Christian Easter Traditions, but at least a good joke history. RECTFYING: What I wrote above is about Resurrection: Shaggy rabbit redux , that I saw at Thamus stumbler page. Than I went to original page and its a well written page, independs of its a pagan origin of Christian Easter Celebration or not. A page about Mithology at Bukisa site with good illustrations too. Sorry for the mistake, but I invite all for see the Thamus page,wih it funny particular version.

    From the page: "Easter time is for Christians one of the most Holy periods of the year, representing the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. But there are those that believe the traditions celebrated have a history that pre-dates the period of Jesus, coming instead from earlier Pagan rituals."

    Resurrection: Shaggy rabbit redux A MAN was out driving on Easter Sunday morning when the Easter Bunny suddenly hopped across the road. He swerved to avoid hitting the legendary rabbit, but failed. Eggs flew out of the basket, sweets too. The driver pulled off to the side of the road, and went to see what had become of the basket-bearing bunny. To his dismay, the colorful rabbit lay dead. The driver sat beside the rabbit, consumed with guilt. A woman driver came by and saw a man crying by the side of the road and pulled over. She went and asked him what was wrong. "I feel terrible," he said, "I accidentally hit the Easter Bunny and now he's dead. What can I do?" The woman patted his head and told him not to worry, since she knew exactly what to do. She went to her car, opened the glove compartment and pulled out a spray can. She walked over to the limp, dead rabbit, and sprayed the entire contents of the can all over it. Miraculously the Easter Bunny came back to life, jumped up, gathered up his spilled eggs and chocolate, waved his paw at the two humans, and hopped across the road. After hopping 50 meters, the Easter Bunny stopped, turned around, waved again, and hopped on down the road another 50 meters. Then he stopped, turned and waved again. The man, pleased and astonished, asked the woman, "What in heaven's name is in your miracle spray can?" She smiled and held up the can so he could read the label. "Restores life to dead hair," it said. "Adds permanent wave."
