The Easter Bunny, beloved by children, originates from the German Osterhase tradition. While its precise beginnings remain unclear, it symbolizes themes of resurrection and eternal life, largely due to the young hare's development. One theory suggests a link to a Germanic goddess, though this is debated. More plausibly, the association arises from historical agrarian practices during Easter, when excess eggs were given to landowners as the business year ended, merging the symbolism of hares and eggs in spring celebrations.
The exact origins of the Easter Bunny folklore are unknown, with theories linking it to various cultural symbols of resurrection, eternal life, and seasonal change.
The hare is connected to Easter themes of resurrection since young bunnies are born with "open eyes," symbolizing eternal life.
