When cultures across the world were being Christianized, the locals often parted ways with certain beliefs or practices with great reluctance. Hence, the two sort of ended up mashed together in a number of interesting ways. Hence, we have many strange sacred and secular traditions on holidays. Easter is no different.

Easter is actual a northern European goddess of Spring and fertility. Her name, and her symbol of fertility, apparently stuck. The egg's we hunt for are simple, and rather quite obvious, representations of the continuation of life. Why they come from a "bunny" is a matter open to debate.
