The Easter Bunny is a cherished tradition of spring. Who doesn’t love an easter basket brimming with colorful eggs and treats?
Have you ever wondered how the Easter Bunny became part of the celebration? The true origins of the Easter bunny are not clear, but the prolific creature is a symbol of spring renewal and new life. Easter egg hunts “hosted” by the Easter Bunny were brought to America by German immigrants in the 1700s. The Bunny and the eggs are now a special part of the celebration.
