It has to do with celebrating the fertility of spring. Eggs represent fertility and the hunting is a way of turning it into a fun game.

It is an ancient pagan fertility festival to the "goddess" Asthar/Ishtar/Asoroth/Eastre. They would sacrifice a bunny to her (which is why we eat chocolate rabbits). It is sick and has nothing to do with the resurection of Yahoshua.
