I read somewhere that the bunny and the eggs idea came from an old pagan holiday that held fertility celebrations. Supposedly, early Catholics tried to Christianize the celebration by changing it, but I don't think that's true.
If anything, it's possible that non-Christian groups wanted to secularize the holiday.

"Eggs, rabbits and hares are fertility symbols of extreme antiquity. Since birds lay eggs and rabbits and hares give birth to large litters in the early spring, these became symbols of the rising fertility of the earth at the Vernal Equinox."

Actually, that is pretty close to right on. before christianity, pagans believed that the "goddess" Eastra collected painted eggs from young rabbits at the spring equinox .... celebrating the renewal of the earth. ( and some speculate, color over snow ? wink ) missionaries of the catholic church used the symbols to symbolize renewal/ rebirth in Christ and so the tradition lived on.
