Friday before Easter - and it is raining. in the TV, they asked people to explain the meaning of this bank holiday. 42% couldn't tell. the TV didn't tell, either.
instead, they moved on to the next question: how is the rabbit related to Easter? a spontaneous answer to that, from a guy on the street: "The rabbit? - it kicked the hen, and thus, the hen laid the egg."
finally, in the net, the explanation:
Good Friday: the anniversary of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ; Holy Friday in Romance Languages, Karfreitag (Sorrowful Friday) in German
Easter: a Christian celebration of the Resurrection of Christ, celebrated the Sunday following the first full moon after the Spring equinox.
the question that remains - how come the rabbit delivers coloured eggs for the celebration?
