What does the Easter Bunny have to do with Jesus?

How did colorful eggs, chocolate bunnies, and mountains of candy become part of celebrating Jesus’ death and resurrection? Kaitlyn explores the surprising origins of the Easter Bunny and its traditions,  and why Christians feel the need to baptize non-christian things by making up a Christian connection or a Christian origin. Should we join in on the Easter Bunny fun, or is this a tradition we should hop away from altogether?   0:50 - Theme Song   1:16 - Kids Try to Explain the Easter Bunny   2:20 - The Church Calendar   6:20 - Christian Symbolism and Eggs   10:16 - Sponsor - Zocdoc - Stop putting off those doctor’s appointments!

Do you have questions about theology, the Bible, or the church that you’re too afraid to ask? Tired of pastors and scholars using unfamiliar language or overly complicated explanations? Curiously, Kaitlyn is a weekly podcast hosted by author and theologian Kaitlyn Schiess that tries to make theology accessible, meaningful, and fun. Each week, you’ll hear a kid ask a theology question–sometimes serious, sometimes silly–and Kaitlyn will interview a scholar to help answer it (without all the academic jargon). Together, Kaitlyn and her guest discover that this one simple question opens up big theological ideas that can impact our lives, shape our view of God, and understand Scripture in a new way. Whether you're reminiscing about your own childhood curiosities or simply seeking a refreshing take on faith, tune in and rediscover the joy of learning with "Curiously Kaitlyn.”
