Why Is Easter Represented by a Bunny and Eggs?

The Easter Bunny is thought to have originated from German folklore, symbolising new life and spring. Rabbits are known for their ability to reproduce quickly, which made them a natural symbol of fertility and renewal. Eggs, too, have long been a symbol of rebirth in many cultures.
