Actors Whip Easter Bunny at Church Show
GLASSPORT, Pa. - First, the Passion of the Christ. Now, the torment of the Easter Bunny?

It may not have been as gruesome as Mel Gibson's movie, but many parents and children got upset when a church trying to teach about Jesus' crucifixion performed an Easter show with actors whipping the Easter bunny and breaking eggs.

People who attended Saturday's show at Glassport's memorial stadium quoted performers as saying, "There is no Easter bunny," and described the show as being a demonstration of how Jesus was crucified.

Melissa Salzmann, who brought her 4-year-old son J.T., said the program was inappropriate for young children. "He was crying and asking me why the bunny was being whipped," Salzmann said.

Patty Bickerton, the youth minister at Glassport Assembly of God, said the performance wasn't meant to be offensive. Bickerton portrayed the Easter rabbit and said she tried to act with a tone of irreverence.

"The program was for all ages, not just the kids. We wanted to convey that Easter is not just about the Easter bunny, it is about Jesus Christ," Bickerton said.

see the kids they dont know the meaning of this holiday. the bunny got what he deserved for tryin to steal the spotlight

lol, that kinda sux for the kids that were there, and it really wasnt the right way to try to show their message

...ahh your only a kid once let them enjoy the sweet oblivion...
I remember going through a phase when I was about 4 years old of checking my room for easter eggs all through the year hoping the bunny might have stopped by for some crazy reason...there is enough time to understand the true meaning when you grow a little older....
Happy Easter everyone anyways have a safe and happy holiday

Happy Easter everyone! wow that really sux for those kids.
