Easter Bunny flogging not funny
April 10, 2004
A US annual Easter program at a Pennsylvania church featuring a flogging of the Easter Bunny upset children and left parents stunned, a newspaper reported today.
Some children cried when they witnessed the bunny bashing, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review website reported.
The whipping was part of a program this week in a stadium in Glassport, Pennsylvania, sponsored by the Glassport Assembly of God.
Performers declared "There is no Easter Bunny" as they struck another performer dressed in a white rabbit costume. They also smashed coloured eggs meant for an Easter egg hunt.
Like Santa Claus at Christmas, the Easter Bunny - usually people dressed in a bunny costume - plays a pivotal role in many public Easter celebrations in shopping malls and other public places across the United States.
The church said its performance intended to stress the religious aspects of Easter.
"Easter is not all about egg hunts and Easter bunnies," a statement issued by the Glassport Assembly of God said, according to the Tribune-Review. "The message of Easter is the good news of our Lord."
