Easter Rabbits and Ham
Rabbits
Because of its short reproductive cycle and large litters, people have long regarded the rabbit (or hare) as a symbol of fertility.
Hares were the sacrificial victims of the goddess Eostre, and in Teutonic myth, were believed to lay easter eggs.
Ham
In the Babylonian myth, Tammuz was killed by a wild boar. Pre-christian Europeans considered eating ham a symbol of luck. Eating pork also expresses a blatant rejection of God's laws regarding clean and unclean meats
