The Easter bunny has its origin in
pre-Christian fertility lore. The hare and the rabbit were the most
fertile animals known and they served as symbols of the new life during
the Spring season. The bunny as an Easter symbol seems to have it's
origins in Germany, where it was first mentioned in German writings in the
1500s. The first edible Easter bunnies were made in Germany during the
early 1800s. And were made of pastry and sugar
The Easter bunny was introduced to American folklore by the German
settlers who arrived in the Pennsylvania Dutch country during the 1700s.
The arrival of the "Oschter Haws" was considered "childhood's greatest
pleasure" next to a visit from Christ-Kindel on Christmas Eve. The
children believed that if they were good the "Oschter Haws" would lay a
nest of colored eggs.
The children would build their nest in a secluded place in the home, the
barn or the garden. Boys would use their caps and girls their bonnets to
make the nests . The use of elaborate Easter baskets would come later as
the tradition of the Easter bunny spread through out the country.
