The words Easter and Egg removed from Chocolate gifts

Most customers don't celebrate Easter?
In 2017, Cadbury was accused by the Church of England of ‘airbrushing faith’ after it dropped the word ‘Easter’ from its annual treasure hunt. The trails at more than 250 National Trust sites were rebranded in a move criticised by the then Archbishop of York, John Sentamu.
Christmas Greetings will also apparently be airbrushed this year with Seasonal Greetings.

For those who believe such things
25th December is 9 months after the annunciation of the virgin Mary which was on 25th March so nothing to do with Yule, just a clash of dates.

Commando rabbits dug away at the soil beneath the egg-shaped rock that sealed Jesus' tomb.
They believed in Jesus in a way that his supporters didn't.
Hence the sealed tomb, which would have been really difficult for resurrected Jesus to open with his holey hands.

"bunnies have fuck all to do with Christianity."
Someone ought to tell that to the Catholics. They breed like rabbits.

Its a well placed 4 day break with an excuse to eat hot cross buns & chocolate.
I do miss the old days when there would be 2 games over the long weekend & it marked the point where hopefully we finally pulled our finger out and tried to avoid relegation.

Yes. The church just hijacked the old Pagan festivals for convenience. Ditto Christmas which is Yule.

Chajonbubble 100% agree.
It makes no sense, but then neither does the idea of someone dying then coming back to life 3 days later and whose image is now see on slices of toast .

I don't celebrate Easter, I take the bank holiday off and have a few beers
If someone gave me a day off on Eid I would have that as well, and I would have a few beers.

I'll tell you one thing for nothing. The festival of Easter, eggs and bunnies have fuck all to do with Christianity.

this isnt the most annoying this about Easter, it is that apparently unlike a consistent birthday, Jesus was resurrected at different times of the year. Just pick a bloody date and stick to it.

So, why don't they come up with a corresponding set of chocolate confectionery that celebrates the other religious festivals prevalent in the UK?
Is it, perhaps, that many of those religions celebrate and glorify death as opposed to life, as represented by the egg?
Chocolate suicide belt, anyone? Jelly-bean "nail bomb"?
