Easter Bunny

Who is Easter Bunny?

The Easter Bunny is a character that brings baskets with Easter eggs, sweets and toys to children the night before Easter. Depicted as a rabbit or hair, the Easter Bunny will hide the baskets somewhere in the house, engaging the children to Easter hunt. Easter hunt is a traditional Easter game where children have to find baskets with Easter eggs hidden somewhere in the house when they wake up in the morning.

This tradition means lots of fun for the children. The Easter Bunny is an exciting symbol of Easter. It means the same to children as Santa Claus during the Christmas time. This is a symbol of the entire Easter season the way Santa Claus is a symbol of the entire Christmas season. The Bunny is often depicted on Easter postcards. Edible Easter bunnies are made of pastry and sugar, just as chocolate Santa Clauses.

The History of Easter Bunnies

The bunny is a pre-Christian symbol of fertility. To ancient people, the hare and the rabbit were the most fertile animals known. Just as eggs, rabbits were as symbols of fertility and renewal during the spring season. The hare and the rabbit became the symbol of rebirth and life after death.
