why ?

Why does the Easter bunny carry eggs? Rabbits don't lay eggs.

[China Doll]

It'd look silly carrying beef and onion pies.... But I do like your thinking!

haha true

When jebus was crucified it was betweentwo giant rabbits. And when he asked the disciples if they'd remember him, they said yes, and when he asked how they were a bit stumped until one of them - Peter I think - shouted 'chocolate eggs', and we've had them ever since.

Or it could be this:
The Easter Bunny

The Easter Bunny is not a modern invention. The symbol originated with the pagan festival of Eastre. The goddess, Eastre, was worshipped by the Anglo-Saxons through her earthly symbol, the hare.


The Easter Egg

As with the Easter Bunny and the holiday itself, the Easter Egg predates the Christian holiday of Easter. The exchange of eggs in the springtime is a custom that was centuries old when Easter was first celebrated by Christians.

From the earliest times, the egg was a symbol of rebirth in most cultures. Eggs were often wrapped in gold leaf or, if you were a peasant, colored brightly by boiling them with the leaves or petals of certain flowers.

Today, children hunt colored eggs and place them in Easter baskets along with the modern version of real Easter eggs -- those made of plastic or chocolate.
