Who is the Easter Bunny, and why does it exist in the celebration of Easter?
Easter Bunny : the Easter Bunny is a Western legend who delivers Easter eggs and candy to children on Easter Sunday. The Easter Bunny tradition is thought to have emerged from European tradition, where the rabbit – the messenger of springtime fertility and birth – came to represent the spring season. The Easter Bunny, so the legend goes, places eggs that children can collect during Easter egg hunts, a typical part of the celebration. The fantasy of the Easter Bunny bringing goodies and eggs is connected to the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus and renewal and happiness. The Easter Bunny is not a religious symbol but a festive part of Easter (especially for children) and a staple of contemporary Easter celebrations in the form of decorations, cards and gifts.
