It’s not like a (Easter) bunny can lay eggs. Also I don’t recall any egg/chicken references in the related Bible stories (except maybe the rooster). So how did the celebration of Easter with eggs came about internationally?

Like most Christian holidays, Easter was appropriated from existing pagan holidays. The holiday Easter was replacing is a fertility holiday which is why you get eggs and rabbits.
