  • The Easter Bunny is a legendary animal said to hide Easter eggs on Easter morning for children. He was originally referred to as the Easter hare. The figure predates Christian Easter traditions, as part of a festival worshiping an Anglo-Saxon goddess named Esotre. It is a symbol of re-birth or fertility in many belief systems. The first written mention of the Easter bunny appeared in German writings in the 16th century.

    Easter eggs are symbolic of new life, but their origins within Easter tradition are speculative, at best. Some believe they were part of the festivals for Esotre. In the Jewish culture, a hard-boiled egg is eaten at the Passover Seder. Ancient Persians celebrated their new year at the Spring Equinox by painting eggs.
