Easter isn't until the 20th.  I'd be questioning why the were hunting
for rabbit eggs on the 12th.  Cheaters looking for an early egg score? ;)

I'm still wondering what rabbits have to do with Easter... ;)

     You've probably swallowed the myth that Easter is about
Christianity.
 

I haven't bought into any of the Christian myths.

    It's another of the ancient pagan festivals
appropriated by Christianity For thousands of years
before, far older religions celebrated the spring equinox
as the season of fertility, rebirth, reproduction and
renewal. When birds begin to lay eggs, hares dance, and
rabbits represent extreme reproductive fertility.
     The origin of Easter, is the springtime worship  of
Oestre, the pagan goddess of fertility/rebirth  whose
symbol was a hare or rabbit.
