Why as well as does Easter support its beginning in pagan traditions?
The ancient Saxons splendid the return of springtime with a marketplace to their goddess of offspring and of springtime, Eastre. While the recollection of Easter seemed to say yes with the self-same time, antique Christians did the self-same thing as they did with the pagan marketplace of Christmas, and slowly started to takeover the pagan marketplace with population of Christianity.
As far as the Easter bunny goes, that too, was part of the pagan celebration of Eastre. The symbol was brought to the US by the Germans. Bit the Easter bunny was largely unseen by Americans until time was the US Civil War. In this day and age, the Easter bunny brings highlighted seed (or stalwartly decorated bendy seed prepared in Pottery) and chocolate to children who character participate in Easter egg hunts.
