The true meaning of Easter?????

I'm not what you would call a church going person, but I have a hard time believing that when Jesus was dying on the cross he thought to himself "I hope someday people remember this in a nice confectionery treat or on a pair of whimsical socks." By the way, the Cross is kosher.

I keep expecting a picture of the Easter bunny waiting outside the tomb with Mary and Martha and a nice basket filled with colorful eggs and treats.
