Except that this is Catholicism, which has nothing to do with Jesus.
The name "Easter" is derived from "Ishtar", the Assyrian version of "Ashtoreth", the principal female deity of the Phoenicians; "Ashtoreth" was the goddess of war and fertility. The "Easter bunny" and the "Easter eggs" are derived from a pagan ritual in honor of this goddess of fertility. As spring approached, the pagan cultures would celebrate the fertility of the land with ceremonies that involved this bunny and the eggs. The post-Primitive Church, as always, decided to mingle these traditions with Passover Week in order to make Christianity more palatable to the pagans. Therefore, every time you say "Easter", you are actually uttering the name of a pagan goddess.
