Did You Know?

Question mark

We can say that the story of rabbits bringing eggs does not make a lot of logical sense, so there must be a reason every year children rush to see what treats this mythical creature has left for them. But just like Santa Claus has no Christian significance to Christmas, the Easter Bunny also has no real connection to this holy day.  

The origin of the Easter Bunny dates back hundreds of years, beginning in pre-Christian Germany. Here, the hare was said to be the symbol of the Pagan Goddess of Spring and Fertility. As Christianity spread across Europe, Pagan traditions were blended with Christian holidays, which saw the Easter Bunny lay a nest of colorful (today, chocolate) eggs for children who were well-behaved on Easter Sunday.
