>In Aztec mythology, the Centzon Totochtin (Nahuatl pronunciation: [sent͡son toːˈtoːt͡ʃtin] "four-hundred rabbits"; also Centzontotochtin) are a group of divine rabbits who meet for frequent drunken parties. They include Tepoztecatl, Texcatzonatl, Colhuatzincatl, Macuiltochtli ("five-rabbit"), and Ometochtli ("two-rabbit"). Their parents are Patecatl and Mayahuel, and they may be brothers of Ixtlilton.

british commoners considered them a pest, because they were bred by the gentry and nobles as cash crops, and caused massive damage to farms.

Well in South America cavies are meat animals like rabbits. And everyone loves guinea pigs.

I'm sure you can find lots of symbols for rabbits, fertility being one. In the end they are meat animals.

Rabbits weren't usually considered holy animals, but they were often invoked in fertility rituals, for reasons that should be obvious. However, this of course varied across cultures and times.

>Zoroastrians considered dogs as holy
Why the fuck would you ever think a submissive, devoted animal to be holy?

Do we just not have enough evidence to prove this? Or did the Mayans just not know?

In pre christan europe in the Germanic and anglo saxon cultures there was a godess called Ēostre, there are various old texts and mytholgy stories that asociate her with things such as rebirth, Hares and eggs which I guess would have been concidered somewhat symbolic and realted to her, not literally worshiped though like a golden idol to an aztec tribe.
Hence the similarity with Easter and why we all pig out on choclate bunnies and chcolate eggs come that time of year.

The same can be said about the many similarites between christanity and what you would call "paganism", as when christanity was being spread across europe many were reluctant to give up their belifs so the christans had to make it more apealing by incorporating many things from the old into the new..
>the festival "easter" instead of the spring equinox.
>The egg shaped door of christs tomb
>the idea of reseruction and rebirth
