The Easter Bunny (also called the Easter Rabbit or Easter Hare) is a folkloric figure and symbol of Easter, depicted as a rabbit bringing Easter eggs. Originating among German Lutherans, the 'Easter Hare' originally played the role of a judge, evaluating whether children were good or disobedient in behavior at the start of the season of Eastertide.^[1] The Easter Bunny is sometimes depicted with clothes. In legend, the creature carries colored eggs in his basket, candy, and sometimes also toys to the homes of children, and as such shows similarities to Santa Claus or the Christkind, as they both bring gifts to children on the night before their respective holidays. The custom was first^{[2][unreliable source?]} mentioned in Georg Franck von Franckenau's De ovis paschalibus^[3] ('About Easter Eggs') in 1682, referring to a German tradition of an Easter Hare bringing Easter eggs for the children.

Symbols

Rabbits and hares

The hare was a popular motif in medieval church art. In ancient times, it was widely believed (as by Pliny, Plutarch, Philostratus, and Aelian) that the hare was a hermaphrodite.^[4][5][6] The idea that a hare could reproduce without loss of virginity led to an association with the Virgin Mary, with hares sometimes occurring in illuminated manuscripts and Northern European paintings of the Virgin and Christ Child. It may also have been associated with the Holy Trinity, as in the three hares motif.^[4][7]

Eggs

Eggs have been used as fertility symbols since antiquity.^[8] Eggs became a symbol in Christianity associated with rebirth as early as the 1st century AD, via the iconography of the Phoenix egg, and they became associated with Easter specifically in medieval Europe, when eating them was prohibited during the fast of Lent. A common practice in England at that time was for children to go door-to-door begging for eggs on the Saturday before Lent began. People handed out eggs as special treats for children prior to their fast.^[9]

As a special dish, eggs would probably have been decorated as part of the Easter celebrations. Later, German Protestants retained the custom of eating colored eggs for Easter, though they did not continue the tradition of fasting.^[10] Eggs boiled with some flowers change their color, bringing the spring into the homes, and some over time added the custom of decorating the eggs.^[11] Many Christians of the Eastern Orthodox Church to this day typically dye their Easter eggs red,^[12] the color of blood, in recognition of the blood of the sacrificed Christ (and, of the renewal of life in springtime). Some also use the color green, in honor of the new foliage emerging after the long-dead time of winter. The Ukrainian art of decorating eggs for Easter, known as pysanky, dates to ancient, pre-Christian times. Similar variants of this form of artwork are seen amongst other eastern and central European cultures.^[13]

The idea of an egg-giving hare went to the U.S. in the 18th century. Protestant German immigrants in the Pennsylvania Dutch area told their children about the 'Osterhase' (sometimes spelled 'Oschter Haws'^[14]). Hase means 'hare', not rabbit, and in Northwest European folklore the 'Easter Bunny' indeed is a hare. According to the legend, only good children received gifts of colored eggs in the nests that they made in their caps and bonnets before Easter.^[15]

Alleged association with Ēostre

In his 1835 Deutsche Mythologie, Jacob Grimm states 'The Easter Hare is unintelligible to me, but probably the hare was the sacred animal of Ostara'. This proposed association was repeated by other authors including Charles Isaac Elton^{[16][page needed]} and Charles J. Billson.^[17] In 1961 Christina Hole wrote, 'The hare was the sacred beast of Eastre (or Ēostre), a Saxon goddess of Spring and of the dawn.'^{[18][page needed]} The belief that Ēostre had a hare companion who became the Easter Bunny was popularized when it was presented as fact in the BBC documentary Shadow of the Hare (1993).^[19]

The Oxford Dictionary of English Folklore however states '.. there is no shred of evidence' that hares were sacred to Ēostre, noting that Bede does not associate her with any animal.^{[20][page needed]}

Tricksters know their enemy and remain keenly aware of an antagonist’s movements so as to outwit them.

With this in mind, Rabbit has the additional symbolism of directional awareness, cleverness, planning and keen senses.Visually Rabbit can also represent a prayerful life as it puts its paws in the position of prayer each time they wash their faces.Rabbit Spirit Animal.

I dreamt that I was a wolf. And usually everyone feared me. ( by the way, first time me dreaming this. But what i felt was more like, a matter of fact) anyways, this time.

All kinds of animals where not scared of me. In fact right next to me as if to see what we were going to do.

We were running from some thing. Some thing scarier than the big wolf. But not an animal.

Something big and evil. The wolf was weirdly pregnant. Which I think I was, with my youngest Camilla. I saw my daughter Jolene. But she was a rabbit or bunny. What ever it was, it started to come for us.

And we ran as fast as we could. I remember my daughter running zigzags to get away, she was super fast.

But that thing caught up to her and surrounded her. She stopped very fast as it surrounded her, and she faced it and I see her face and eyes looking everywhere as if to see where to escape. She was ready to fight back. My wolf felt deep sadness. After all she was my baby.

2nd of my now 4 children. I don’t remember it touching her. It just caught up to her and surrounded her. So I pray she got away. I had to keep running. What ever it was, it wanted what was inside me.

The baby or pup. I often think of this dream. Worried for my daughter Jolene. I awoke right after seeing her surrounded.Do you habe any insight on this? Perhaps some thoughts? The memory of this dream and how I emotionally felt, has stayed with me.
