Happy Easter Bunny

With Easter arriving soon, a little information about an important part of the tradition:

The Easter Bunny

The Easter Bunny (or Easter Hare) is a mythical character seen as an anthropomorphic rabbit. It is believed that Easter bunny brings baskets filled with colored eggs, candy and toys to the homes of children on the night before Easter. According to the tradition, Easter eggs are hidden by the Easter bunny. Easter bunny is an Easter symbol which derives its origin from Alsace and southwestern Germany, where it was mentioned in German writings in the 1600s. The first edible Easter Bunnies were made in Germany during the early 1800s from pastry and sugar. Foil wrapped beautiful chocolate Easter bunny is the most important aspect regarding Easter day as it is very similar in trait to its Christmas counterpart Santa Claus as both of them bring gifts for good children on the night before their respective holiday.
