Easter is a Christian holiday celebrating the rebirth of Jesus.But as Easter itself has become more widely accepted, many countries have made the day an official holiday.

Many non-Christians also celebrate this day, so to this day, Easter has taken on the added significance of celebrating the arrival of spring and the revival of all things.

So why are bunnies so widely used as Easter symbols in all kinds of decorations and on the streets?

The most straightforward explanation is that rabbits are not only adorable, but also have a great ability to reproduce, which seems to make sense as a mascot for a holiday that celebrates the arrival of spring.

Of course, rabbits represent reproduction and recovery, and not just because they're cute or fertile!

In fact, long before the rise of Christianity, the Nordic people were already celebrating the arrival of spring, and they chose Eostre, the goddess of fertility, as their representative. Uh-huh, Eostre pronounced is basically the same as Easter! And the Eostre's sidekick is a rabbit!
