The Anglican Dean of Hobart, Richard Humphrey, said he preferred the idea of the Easter doughnut over the traditional Easter egg.
"Eggs don't really have anything to do with Easter but you can attach some rich symbolism to a doughnut," he said.
"They're round like the stone that was rolled away from Jesus's tomb, the tomb was empty, just like the hole in the doughnut, they're shaped like a halo and the circle represents eternal life"...

PS:BLIND GUIDING THE BLIND....!!!Eggs have A LOT TO DO WITH EASTER...which BTW comes from the worship of Ishtar...and yes...Mr Humphrey--I'm sorry to break these news to you--but Eggs are related to offerings to the goddess of fertility Ishtar.
