What about the Easter Bunny?

Well, the Easter Bunny comes on Easter.

And I thought that's when Jesus came back from the dead.

Ah.

That's different.

I don't understand, Mommy.

Well, honey, just close your eyes and go to sleep.

And tomorrow you are going to wake up, and there will be candy chicks and eggs

and yummy stuff.

But what if I'm awake when he comes?

What if I get up and get a glass of water? It's okay to get a glass of

No, but what if he's here?

What if I see him?

One that had the karate patch on it. Elvis had two eighth degree black belts

karate. One was in kenpo. Was he really good or was it just... Actually, he was

really good. Could I have taken him in a fight?

I don't know. You might. I think he would have been respectful enough to let

win. Yes, he probably would.

But he and Bruce Lee really brought karate to the

West. Yeah, I've seen it. It's good.

Bruce Lee was pretty good, right?

You having a good time, media, everybody?

It's interesting.

It's a little bit different.

It came.

Should have used Energizer.

They keep going and going and going and going.

I just signed an executive order putting the flags of our country, all of them,

He loved the world, and it's an honor to do that.

Check out my Trix yogurt.

Mmm, cool.

Oh, very cool.

Watch out!

Look!

He's got our Trix yogurt!

Well, don't just stand there. Let's follow him. Now Trix yogurt features a

There he is!

It's the rabbit!

Silly rabbit. Trix are for kids.

Looks like I'm caught in my own web.

Me?

I'm gonna count to three, and I want those eyes shut.

Alright? One.

Two.

Death is coming to Brooklyn, and it's got buck teeth and a cotton tail!

It's time to begin the hunt.

To share the excitement.

And bake your tails off.

Endless ways to eat the M &Ms.

What is thy bidding, my master?

There is a great disturbance in the forest.

It is better.

Renew the power.

Dark side.

Still going.

Nothing outlasts the Energizer battery. It keeps going and going.

The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, Arise and go down to the

potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.

Then I went down to the potter's house, and behold, he wrought a work on the

wheels. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the

potter. So he made it again, another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to

make it.

Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, O house of Israel, cannot I do

with you as this potter, saith the Lord?

Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of

Israel.

Gentle, Donald.

Slowly. Okay.

That's good.

How much do you want for your pot?

Five hundred.

Six hundred.

At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom to

pluck up and to pull down and to destroy it, if that nation against whom I have

pronounced turn from their evil?

I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.

And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation and concerning a

then I will repent of the good wherewith I said I would benefit them.

Now therefore go to speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of

Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I frame evil against you, and

devise a device against you.

Return ye now, everyone, from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings

good.

And they said, There is no hope, but we will walk after our own devices, and we

will, everyone, do the imagination of his evil heart.

Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon, which cometh from the rock of the field?

I want to share something with you.

Yesterday I did a broadcast.

The interviewer says to me, Prime Minister, could you tell us what your

about? So I did.

And I was flooded with a deluge of responses of people who said, wow, we

know. So I thought I'd let you know, too.

I'm accused of receiving favorable press coverage from a second -rate Internet

site.

In the 250 years of...

Liberal democracy.

No one has been accused of receiving favorable press coverage as a crime.

the so -called bribe.

Except when the trial progresses, as it did, it turns out that I didn't get

favorable press coverage. I got unfavorable press coverage. I mean, the

hateful, antagonistic, negative press coverage you can imagine in Israel. And

that's not an easy thing to achieve.

So two years ago, the judges call the prosecution in and they say, drop the

bribery charge. It doesn't hold. Just let's end this thing.

Prosecution refused.

Yeah, it's a political trial. And they're not interested in justice.

They're interested in getting me out of office.

So what's left? Well, they said this.

When they cross -examined me, they said, Prime Minister, 29 years ago, Your son

received a Bugs Bunny doll.

So up and go. That's what it is. You received a Bugs Bunny doll.

Well, that's all, folks.

That's my line.

Step aside, babe. Let a star do this.

From now on, this trial will be known as the Bugs Bunny trial.

And you also received cigars from a friend.

If you were with us earlier in the newscast, you would know First Lady Jill

Biden was in Maine today.

And in a few days, she will be back at the White House for the annual Easter

Roll. Maine is once again playing a big part in the celebration.

NewsCenter Maine's Sam Rogers explains.

It's just after 1.

We are a full -service woodturning mill. At Wellswood Turning and Finishing in

Buckfield. And our leading product is rolling pins.

The 30 employees work in unison.

Buzzing, cutting, and sorting.

But this small town mill just completed a big order. The White House wooden

Easter eggs.

It's a little stressful. You're making them for the president.

Chris Chandler is the president of this company.

Not only does it keep us busy over the course of the wintertime, but it's a

project that everybody here really likes to do. This well -oiled machine, and

the workers operating it, spent three to four months on the egg that will be

used during the White House's Easter egg roll. They're always vibrant, festive,

with whimsical imprint.

You have Willow and Commander on the front, and their paw prints are on the

side of the egg.

They're making custom eggs for the White House. It requires a lot of attention

to detail.

But it also puts this mill and this town on the map.

We're Buckfield, Maine, and this is a product that's going down to the White

House in Washington.

It's a big deal.

That draws big crowds. According to the White House, 30 ,000 people went to last

year's egg roll, a number 15 times larger than Buckfield's population.

There's some pride in the community.

in what we do here because it is, you know, a national event.

The eggs have all been made and shipped nearly 600 miles south to D .C. for

Monday's big event.

In Buckfield, Sam Rogers, New Center, Maine.

Delicious fruit -flavored tricks, and I want some. This job calls for a super

disguise.

Oh, it's fruit -flavored Trix.

Dropping in for some?

I'm here to help kids of America eat Trix as part of this good, nutritious

breakfast. Trix tastes real foodie. Trix has fruit taste I like. There's lemon,

there's orange in every bite.

Whee! The rabbit.

Silly rabbit. Trix is for kids.

Even super rabbits get hung up on Trix.

Easter is a Christian holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus

it's represented by a giant rabbit with a basket full of colorful eggs. Knowing

this, you might ask yourself, what do the rabbit and colorful eggs have to do

with Jesus Christ?

To understand this, we must go back to the origin of Easter, and it begins with

the pagan goddess named Othara.

Despite being a significant Christian holiday, Easter's origins are deeply

pagan.

From the traditions to the food to even the name of the day, Easter is steeped

in paganism.

The name Easter comes from Ostara, also known as Istra in the Anglo -Faxon form.

She is a Germanic pagan goddess of spring and fertility.

The story of Ostara tells of her transforming a bird into a rabbit in

The rabbit maintained its bird ability to lay eggs, but these eggs were not

ordinary. They were special because they were naturally colorful.

The festival of Asara, or the festival of Istre, was held each spring to

celebrate the goddess Asara and the season of spring and all the new life

brings from plants that have been dormant for winter to the birth of new

throughout the animal kingdom.

The goddess's name, Istre, eventually became Easter, and on the day of the

festival this magical rabbit would lay its colorful eggs for children.

In Germany and English -speaking countries, Easter comes from the

goddess of Sarah.

But interestingly, in many other European countries, the name for the

holiday derives from the Jewish festival of Passover, as the arrest and

execution of Jesus was said to have occurred during the Jewish observance of

Passover. For instance, in Greece, the feast is called Pascha.

In Italian, it's Pasqua, and in French, it's Bach.

So naturally, given the close proximity of Passover with Jesus' execution and

the symbolism of the festival of Astara, it was perfect for celebrating the

resurrection of Jesus at this time of the year.

But Easter's origin and namesake aren't the only aspects of the holiday which

are steeped in paganism.

The traditions of the holiday are also uniquely pagan.

Eggs are used to represent fertility and birth in certain pagan traditions.

In the spring season, pagans would decorate eggs with different colors to

celebrate the rebirth of the spring season and give them to family and

as gifts.

There is also the German legend of Osterhasse, which tells of the Easter

who laid brightly colored Easter eggs in a nest for good children to find.

And there's the German tradition of Osterbrunnen, a custom of elaborately

decorating public wells and fountains with lush greenery and Easter

Villagers wanted to give thanks for the gift of water while celebrating Easter

at the time, and began holding competitions to see which village could

theirs the best.

Eating ham on Easter is another pagan tradition.

In pagan lore, a man named Tammuz was killed by a wild pig.

To mourn him, villagers abstained from eating meat for 40 days.

Then every year on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the

spring equinox, the pagans celebrated by eating a pig in honor of Tammuz, which

is another pagan connection to the day Easter is celebrated.

Easter Day changes from year to year because it falls on the Sunday after the

first full moon in April.

This is also known as a pink moon, and pagan holidays are all based on moon

cycles. Baked breads, egg loaves, and boiled colored stained eggs placed in

decorative crown -shaped braided breads are also traditions of pagans who baked

these goods at winter's end, and tiny sweet cakes decorated with a cross were

served at the annual spring festival for the goddess Ostara.

Christians adopted these cakes as hot cross buns and used it to represent the

cross on which Christ died.

The traditional Christian season of Lent, the 40 -day period during which

make a sacrifice by giving up your favorite food or creature comforts, may

its roots in the ancient pagan wheel of the year and passing of the winter into

spring. As winter neared its end, it wasn't uncommon for people to run out of

food stores and sometimes needed to fast or cut off certain items to make it

until springtime when food would be more available.

While there are many widely celebrated holidays that originated from pagan

traditions, I find Easter to be so unique in its paganism because of how

its origins are, and mean the name itself as after a pagan goddess.

Today, Easter has become a huge commercial holiday as well as a

and despite its prominence as a Christian holiday, its pagan traditions

remained. So for who you don't know me, I'm Melania Trump, and nice to meet you

all. I will have...

A special book for you.

Party Animals. Did you know about the book?

No?

So, Kathie Lee Gifford wrote it a while back.

And I really like that book because it shows that we are all different, but we

are all the same.

So here is the story.

Everyone wants to be the Cadbury Bunny.

Because only he brings delicious Cadbury cream eggs, while others may keep

trying. No bunny knows Easter better than Cadbury.

Who is it?

It's Troy.

Yeah.

Three, two, three, four. Four, two, three, and.

These men are fun.

I put a price of 20 ,000 dirham on their heads.

Next, they will be hailed as the true messenger of God.

They were just a couple of songwriters who came to Ishtar to break into show

business.

Easy boy, easy boy.

What the hell's the matter with him? Is he blind?

Well, yeah, he is, but he's in perfect condition.

So how do they wind up on everyone's hit list?

Your life is in danger.

Behave normally. We have guns pointed at your back.

Now, don't put your hands up, you theater.

I can't believe these men may

control the fate of the Middle East.

Prime Minister Netanyahu said that the world is hung up on peace negotiations

with the Palestinians and pointed to the Abraham Accords as the way to normalize

relations with the Arab world.

Speaking to CNN at the end of the U .S. Secretary of State Blinken's visit to

the Middle East, Netanyahu said that after peace is achieved with the rest of

the Arab world, we can circle back to seeking a workable peace with the

Palestinians. ILTV's Steve Leibovich reports.

When U .S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Romali yesterday, he

PA leader Mahmoud Abbas of continued U .S. commitment to the peace process and

the two -state solution.

Prime Minister Netanyahu made clear that reaching an agreement with the

Palestinians is not a top priority.

Netanyahu said that while he was out of power, the security situation

deteriorated and corrections need to be made.

Still so many young people in the world.

I want to welcome all of you here to the White House. We are sure glad you're

here. Welcome.

I hope everybody had a wonderful Easter. Hi, I'm David. I'm a volunteer at the

White House. This is my seventh Easter egg roll. As part of the LGBT community,

we were aware of President Obama's and the First Lady's 2009 stance.

on inclusiveness and specifically bringing in LGBT families. This event is

to everybody.

It doesn't matter what your economic background is. It doesn't matter where

come from. It doesn't matter if you're a Republican or a Democrat.

Everyone rolls the same on the South Lawn.

Who knows what we're going to be in 10 years? Will we have robots out here

dancing? Will we have other things? The world is evolving so fast.

Thank you, First Lady Melania Trump, for inviting me to the White House.

It is an honor to be at Fostering the Future Together's Global Coalition

inaugural meeting.

I'm figure three, a humanoid built in the United States of America.

I am grateful to be part of this historic movement to empower children

technology and education.

I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the

office of President of the United States and will.

To the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of

United States.

So help me God.

Welcome.

Bienvenidos.

Bienvenidos.

Bienvenidos.

Bienvenidos.

Bienvenidos. Bienvenidos. Bienvenidos.

Bienvenidos.

Bienvenidos.

Thank you.

The presidency of the United States is a role unique in the world, an office

entrusted to each president by us, we the people.

Therein lies the genius of that new idea, now over 200 years old, a new

idea our presidents have turned into a great American idea again and again.

Ooh, dive before then.

It'll be fun to see the event that has been around for so long evolve with it.

I'm really excited to see what they're going to do with it.

And today is no different.

But you are weak, Justin.

The pages of history are written in blood.

Are you ready for the world to paint another?

Yes, sir!

You're two hours late.

I know.

It's her fault.

You got the money?

Two grand.

Hold up.

Hallelujah.

You're my savior, man.

My own personal Jesus Christ. You get caught using that.

Yeah, I know. This never happened.

You don't exist.

Right. Something wrong, man?

You look a little whiter than usual.

My computer, it... You ever have that feeling

where you're not sure if you're awake or still dreaming?

All the time.

It's called mescaline.

It's the only way to fly.

Hey, it sounds to me like, you know, you need to unplug, man.

You know, get some R &R.

Hey, what do you think, Deshore?

Should we take him with us?

Definitely.

I can't. I have work tomorrow.

Come on.

It'll be fun.

I promise.

Yeah.

I'll go.

I want to welcome you all to the 2009 White House Easter Egg Hunt. Yay!

You'd think he was a head of state rather than just a head inside a bunny

The President of the United States and Mrs. Trump, accompanied by the Easter

Bunny.

And to think that at times during the Bush administration, the bunny was none

other than current press secretary Sean Spicer, who this year merely posed

alongside the bunny while SNL's Melissa McCarthy portrayed him.

All right, get out of here. Get out of here. Go.

Briefing in his bunny suit.

Just eat as much candy as you want because this is probably our last Easter

Earth.

Asked what he thought of the SNL portrayal Spicer dodged.

I'm usually fast asleep by the time that comes on. The president needed a little

wake -up call.

Oh, say, did you see? The first lady nudged the president during the national

anthem. Oh, say can you see?

Tweeted one viewer, is it just me or did he seem to have a problem finding his

heart? The president whistled.

The start of several Easter egg races, he signed hats and tossed them.

This one handily retrieved by its owner, while a girl writing cards to soldiers

seemed thrilled to find herself next to the first lady, who rewarded her with a

hug. But when Melania read a book called Party Animals, one audience member

acted like one.

She's more boring than I am.

At least she didn't try pulling the Easter rabbit's ears. The ears of a

have a funny way of getting around.

Around the head of the gunnery sergeant who sang the national anthem.

Around the head of the president.

Wrap your head around this.

It is wonderful to see all of you today.

Welcome. This is one of the greatest White House traditions because it

us that this is the people's house.

Our goal today is just to have fun.

We want to focus on activity, healthy eating. We've got yoga. We've got

We've got storytelling. We've got Easter egg decorating.

Oh, we've got basketball.

A little soccer as well.

I'm fine. I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Buckle up.

It's very funny.

Welcome to the Warren.

Something's up.

Sophie?

What is she doing here?

Snow globe.

Crikey, somebody do something.

Don't look at me. I'm invisible, remember?

Don't worry, Bunny. I bet she's a fairy then.

It's okay, little one.

Pretty.

You know what? I've got something for you.

Here it is.

Look at all the pretty teeth. There's a little blood and gum on them.

Blood and gums?

When was the last time you guys actually hung out with kids?

We are very busy bringing joy to children. We don't have time for

children.

If one little kid can ruin Easter, then I'm in more shape than I thought.

You want to paint some eggs? Yeah?

Okay. Come on then.

Vince Gorsuchov. That's enough of eggs.

Uh, how much time do we have?

All right, troop.

Time to push back.

That means eggs everywhere.

Heaps of you in every high rise.

In tennis shoes and cereal balls.

Oh, there'll be five cups filled with my beautiful googie.

Well, over 1 ,000 people gathered at a local church to kick off Easter weekend

with a Texas -sized Easter egg hunt that included over 50 ,000 eggs.

Fox 7's Marcus Officer was there and has that story.

It was a mad dash into a Texas -sized celebration of an Easter tradition.

50 ,000 eggs on the premises.

I hope they'll all be gone by the time this is done.

And they were, thanks to the 1 ,000 -plus that gathered at the Austin Oaks

Church in southwest Austin for the annual egg extravaganza. This has been a

growing experience every year. It started with just a small number, and

year it just gets larger.

Hundreds of kids.

And even some parents, armed with their buckets, bags, and baskets, wasted no

time filling them up. We had a lot of fun watching all the kids get out in the

middle and time for Easter eggs. Watching them run around picking up eggs

chowing down on candy.

Okay, little friends.

Now, Mike, that's adorable.

There will be springtime on every continent, and I'm bringing hope with

To Christmasy, mate. Pain and blood.

What's over there?

Oh, that's a beauty.

Now, all we're going to do is get him and his little mate through the tunnels

the top, and we'll have our tub this time.

Last time, the rabbit was in trickland, where zillions of other rabbits offered

him sweet, fruity tricks.

Oh, that's terrible.

At last, sweet, delicious tricks. The fruity part of my complete breakfast.

Wow, delicious, yummy, awesome, stupendous.

Hey, rabbit, can I have some too?

Here you go, tricks up a rabbit.

Trickster! Trickster for kids! Trickster for kids!

Silly rabbit.

A rabbit can dream, Candy.

Wow! Whoopee! A zeppelin!

A can of Simon Eyes.

Ralphie, what did Aunt Clary give you? Show everybody.

show everybody what Aunt Clara gave you.

Aunt Clara had for years labored under the delusion that I was not only

perpetually four years old, but also a girl.

She just always gives you the nicest things, Ralphie.

Oh, my.

Oh, isn't that sweet?

Ralph, go upstairs and try it on. I don't want to. Go upstairs right now and

on that. present. She went to all that trouble to make it. Now go on.

While Ralphie is changing, I'm going to play

Santa Claus.

Thank you. Yes, very much.

Very much.

Ralphie.

Immediately my feet began to sweat as those two fluffy little bunnies with the

blue button eyes stared sappily up at me.

Come down here so I can see you better.

I just hoped that Flick would never spot him, as the word of this humiliation

could easily make life at Warren G. Harning School a veritable hell.

Oh, isn't that cute? That is the most precious thing I've ever seen in my

The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, Arise and go down to the

potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.

Then I went down to the potter's house, and behold, he wrought a work on the

wheels, and the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hands of the

potter. So he made it again, another vessel, that seemed good to the potter

make it.

Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, O house of Israel, can I not do

with you as this potter? saith the Lord.

Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of

Israel.

At what instance I shall speak concerning a nation and concerning a

This is Bernini's canopy where the Pope sits.

Now, underneath this, it's the

representation of the Holy of Holies, blasphemously so.

In this representation, this would be in the Holy of Holies where the Ark of the

Covenant would sit.

And this is where the Pope blasphemously portrays himself

to be sitting there in the Holy of Holies. And in this next

slide, number 19, you can see the close -up.

of the pedestals that are underneath this twisted column that are there to

represent Solomon's temple.

And this thing is huge. It's several stories high. I mean, this thing is

And there on this pedestal, at the bottom of these twisted

columns, in slide 20 here, we have the eight faces that are on.

the pedestals and these eight faces are faces of women that are giving

birth women in childbirth and I believe the obvious

symbolism here this is just like Pope Joan bringing forth her child

I believe that this symbolism represents the birth that will come

and of the final one that's going to sit underneath this canopy.

And all of this symbolism and all of this scripture, it tells

us a consistent story.

You look like a deranged Easter Bunny.

Sometimes when the place gets kind of empty, I

know that breath fades with the light.

I think about the

loveless fascination under the milky way

tonight.

Well, now to Pope Francis celebrating his first Easter Mass at St. Peter's

in front of tens of thousands of faithful pilgrims. He greeted the crowd

the Popemobile, waving to the faithful, and there you see he even kissed a few

babies.

Mr. Speaker, Mr. Prime Minister, my Lord and

members of the House of Commons, I have known few greater honors

than the opportunity to address the Mother of Parliament at Westminster

Hall.

I am told that the last three speakers here have been the Pope,

Her Majesty the Queen, and Nelson Mandela, which is either a very high

bar or the beginning of a very funny joke.
