Nice link!

I don't think it's particularly controversial that the eggs and the bunny come from pagan traditions, along with Christmas trees, mistletoe, the timing of Christmas and miscellaneous other customs. There are some conservative Christians who avoid many of these traditions because of the pagan influence.

But I dunno about the timing, it's supposed to align with Passover, which is also in the spring and on a lunar calendar. Of course, Easter doesn't align with Passover, so maybe that's because of pagan influence?
