Jesus in a bunny suit

It makes you wonder what it is all about.

I was out grocery shopping the other day. Because for the next few days there will be public holidays and being Australia, you close on public holidays. Unlike Malaysia. You stay open (probably longer) to prey on innocent holidayers. So I might as well do my grocery shopping to last me at least before I leave for Adelaide next Wednesday. So I was at Woolies and people were swarming the place during lunch hours at the sweeties aisle, picking on chocolates to fill up their chocolate filled baskets.

How come we collect eggs on Easter. Not just those eggs we buy from the grocery stores. Those we scramble, fry, sunny side, half boil or omelette. No. Chocolate eggs to be exact. As if we do not have enough questions to answer. So here you wonder why chocolate eggs. Why not vanilla, strawberry, marmalade or sheesh lavender.

Why a bunny? Who gives us the impression that bunnies give out chocolate eggs? What does a bunny have anything to do with the real meaning of Easter?

Do you even know what Easter is all about?

Why hot crossed buns on Easter too anyway?

Actually, there is nothing good about Friday too. It is supposed to be a day of grieving and mourning. So yes. Nothing good. If it is a public holiday on Good Friday, stay at home and mourn. Cry your eyes out. Break your heart on purpose. Because there really is not anything good about it. Someone died, for Christ's sake. (Pun intended maybe) And for people who do not give a damn.

So yeah. Something to think about this Easter:
1 - Why collect eggs on Easter?
2 - Why collect chocolate eggs on Easter?
3 - Why an Easter bunny?
4 - Why an Easter bunny giving out chocolate Easter eggs?
5 - Why hot crossed buns?
6 - Why is it good on Good Friday?

Happy Easter.
