So true, sometimes it makes me feel sick thinking that all those wonderfully painted miniatures I collected so long ago cost about £200, and I never use them! (Except my mate just started so he wants to play this week)

@kasumi-chan.
Easter is a Christian 'holiday'/celebration. It is partly about spring and partly about the resurection of christ (winter-spring- new life etc etc).

Bunnies, chicks (the poultry kind), and other young things you see in spring.
Basically.
Christ is crucified (ick) and dies (awww), he rises from the dead 3 days later (weee).
There are several days of significance around the main day (easter sunday) regarding events.
Ash wednesday, good friday, shrove tuesday.
The rising from the dead and the return of life from winter and the such.
Not neccessarily religious anymore though. Commercialized by the "Easter Bunny" who fills your basket with eggs and candy sorta like Santa meets Hugh Heffner. o_O
To me, just another excuse to eat chocolate and have a family dinner!
sorta like Santa meets Hugh Heffner.
errrrr wtf :wtf:
thats the weirdest description of easter ive ever heard
Easter ...
Originally a Christian holiday celebrating Christ's resurrection. As with Christmas (Christ's birth / Santa Claus), Easter also became a non-religious holiday by way of the Easter Bunny. The Easter Bunny hides eggs around the house or the yard outside for children to find in the morning. They traditionally run around with woven baskets in which they put the eggs they find. The eggs are sometimes hardboiled eggs with colored or painted shells, or plastic colored eggs filled with candy. The children might also wake up to find they each have a woven basket filled with Easter oriented candies (chocolate bunnies and various kinds of candy eggs and stuff) which are nestled in synthetic green grass. As part of the [pre]holiday festivities children often decorate eggs: sometimes to leave out the night before for the Easter Bunny to hide and them to then find, or to be given / traded / eaten on Easter. Other variations probably exist as well. Where i grew up the local park also sponsored an annual "Great Easter Egg Hunt" for children all over the neighborhood to come looking for eggs and receive candy as well - a time to have some family fun.
Edit: oh, and of course there are Easter Parades here in various parts of the US as well.

Yeah Hugh was the dude who turned Jesus in to the Germans right? Which started the second world war or summat like that?
This is why I don't do History for GCSE.
Still have never figured out where the actual bunny part came from.
dunno where the eggs thing came from tho O_o
~Tratos
the eggs are understandable..... signifying new life..... but Bunnys...... :wtf:

No Nid it just shows that you love to show off, which isn't a geek associated thing. We are usually recluses.
Well, the rabbit is viewed as a fertility symbol by some people/cultures, because they are so prolific ... hence they are also a tie-in to "new life". Which is what gave Hugh the idea to begin with. :p

bah i prefer Eddie Izzard's version, he did a sketch on easter, and bunnys are associated with easter because the hill in which the cross was placed had a warren under it lol
Just Googled this off the Net:
"The Easter bunny has its origin in pre-Christian fertility lore. The Hare and the Rabbit were the most fertile animals known and they served as symbols of the new life during the Spring season. The bunny as an Easter symbol seems to have it's origins in Germany, where it was first mentioned in German writings in the 1500s. The first edible Easter bunnies were made in Germany during the early 1800s. And were made of pastry and sugar.
The Easter bunny was introduced to American folklore by the German settlers who arrived in the Pennsylvania Dutch country during the 1700s. The arrival of the "Oschter Haws" was considered "childhood's greatest pleasure" next to a visit from Christ-Kindel on Christmas Eve. The children believed that if they were good the "Oschter Haws" would lay a nest of colored eggs.
The children would build their nest in a secluded place in the home, the barn or the garden. Boys would use their caps and girls their bonnets to make the nests . The use of elaborate Easter baskets would come later as the tradition of the Easter bunny spread through out the country."
