The History of the Easter Bunny.

The Easter Bunny has a rich history that dates back centuries. Its origin can be traced back to ancient pagan traditions. Rabbits were seen as symbols of fertility and new life. In German folklore, the Easter Hare would lay colorful eggs in nests made by children. This tradition was a part of a pagan holiday that celebrated Springtime and new life. The name “Easter” may come from the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring. That idea is debated. To gain a deeper understanding of Easter, watch this video by the Bible Museum.
