Jesus doesn’t even make the top three when it comes to things Britons associate with Easter, according to a poll by YouGov.

Just 55pc 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.

This makes Jesus the fourth most common Easter associated for people in the UK – behind chocolate Easter eggs (76pc), bank holidays (67pc) and hot cross buns (62pc).
