Happy Easter

I think that's a little harsh. If we were talking about Christmas, maybe you'd have a point, but the Passover is a non-arbitrary, non-movable date which just happens to fall in Eostremonath, it's not like the Pope or someone gathered a conclave of cardinals and said "OK, boys, since this is the single most significant date in the Christian calendar, let's see if we can get people to forget it's about the death and resurrection of Our Lord, and get them to think about some nonsense about eggs and rabbits as believed in by those Germanic tribes whom we hate and despise as barbarians and who keep setting fire to us in giant wicker men. 'Cos Hallmark say it'll make for prettier greetings cards."

Well, sure. My point was that the Church didn't steal these things, but rather they were foisted upon the Church as a result of the coincidence of dates and the residual paganism of the laity.
