    What about the one where we celebrate nailing a guy to a tree by distributing eggs via a bunny.

        I speak english, not yankee cowboy. Holiday is holiday. Celebration is celebration.

        Pre edit : I also speak turkish, there’s a difference between “Bayram” and “Tatil”.

    You probably know this, but it’s what remains of the Celtic festival of Imbolc. It’s the first of the three spring festivals. Ostara you definitely know since it was coopted by the church along with the eggs and rabbit symbology.
