Have You Ever Wondered Why a Bunny Delivers Easter Eggs?

As families around the world indulge in the tradition of hunting for Easter eggs, a question arises: Why is a bunny, a creature that does not even lay eggs, associated with Easter? Let’s dive into why bunnies have become synonymous with Easter celebrations!

The Origins of the Easter Bunny

The Easter Bunny tradition is believed to have originated in Germany. The “Osterhase” or Easter Hare initially played the role as a kind of “judge”, similar to Santa Claus, deciding if children were good and nice or rowdy and disobedient at the start of the Easter season.

This tradition was brought to America by German immigrants in the 1700s. They brought with them this tale of an “egg-laying” rabbit. Children would make “nests” in their yards so that this very unique creature could lay its colored eggs inside.

Over time, the tradition spread across the United States, evolving into the Easter egg hunts and the Easter Bunny we know today.
