The Easter Bunny was the earthly symbol of the goddess Eastre, worshipped by the Anglo-Saxons. In Christian tradition, a rabbit witnesses the miracle of the resurrection of Christ in his tomb, so the rabbit became the messenger to communicate and remember the new goods.
The Easter Egg. For ancient Anglo-Saxons exchanging eggs in spring was a symbol of rebirth, fertility and new live. Now people give chocolate eggs or hard-boiled eggs painted with different colours as a present at Easter. Sometimes eggs are boiled with petals of flowers, leaves or any kind of vegetables to make them colourful.
