The History of Easter Symbols is Rich

The History of the Easter Bunny

Some believe that the rabbit was the earthly incarnation of the goddess Eastre. According to others, the Easter bunny can be traced back to ancient tribes who believed the rabbit to be a symbol of fertility due to its ability to procreate frequently and in multiples.

Easter Eggs and Easter Baskets Also Have Pre-Christian Beginnings

Along with the folklore of the Easter bunny came tales of the eggs. One tale is that Easter found a wounded bird in the forest and turned it into a rabbit to keep warm during the winter. However, the transformation was incomplete and the rabbit continued to lay eggs. The rabbit, in its gratitude, offered brightly colored eggs to Easter every spring.
