Britons most associate Easter with chocolate eggs, bank holidays and cross buns
This makes Jesus the fourth most common Easter associated for people in the UK - behind chocolate Easter eggs (76%), bank holidays (67%) and hot cross buns (62%), which Christians in England eat on Good Friday.
Just 55% of people said that they personally associate Christ with Easter despite the very obvious fact that the Easter weekend constitutes the biggest event in the Christian calendar.
Older age groups were far more likely to think of Jesus when it comes to Easter. Among young people Jesus is even less likely to be associated with Easter, with just 44% of those aged 18-24 and 45% of those aged 25-49 picking him as an option.
The poll also shows that Britons personally associate Easter with Easter Bunny (almost 50%), school holiday (almost 40%), chicks and lambs (almost 40%), decorating eggs, Easter cards and Easter bonnets (over 20%)and simnel cake (over 10%).
