The concept of an egg-laying bunny, though unconventional, can be attributed to pre-Christian fertility lore. Known for its reproductive prowess, the bunny is believed to have been a large, handsome bird whose wings had frozen during the harsh winter. To save him from dying, he was turned into a rabbit by Eostre, the Pagan Goddess of dawn, fertility and new beginnings. Still able to lay eggs instead of having baby bunnies, this novel-like creature would build a nest and fill it with colorful eggs as a gift to the goddess each spring.
Its legend, inspired through traditions developed from one generation to another, gradually gained popularity for the rabbit until he was seen as a Santa Claus of sorts and used as an Easter symbol. Youngsters look forward to waking up on Easter morning and finding baskets filled with chocolate candy, jelly beans and colored eggs from the Easter Bunny.
