Easter Bunny Facts

Bunny

The Easter bunny really started out as the Easter hare
in ancient oriental cultures. We don't know when the
name was changed or why. We do know that because
of their many baby bunnies, it makes sense to use
rabbits as symbols of abundant new life.

It was in Germany that the Easter bunny was first
connected with Easter eggs in the spring celebration.
Children made nests of leaves, moss, or grasses and
placed them in their yards or gardens. They believed that
during the night the Easter bunny would fill the nests with
bright yellow, blue, green, and purple decorated eggs.

In Texas, some people still continue the German custom
of burning Easter-eve fires. The children are told that the
Easter bunny is burning wild flowers to make his dyes.
