Easter Egg Hunt

Ever wonder why on Easter Sunday it is tradition to have an egg hunt? Why do children need to hunt them and why did it have to be on Easter? And why a bunny or rabbit is associated with it too? Well, I do wonder so here's a little story behind those cute, oval and colorful eggs and that cheerful bunny.

First of all, history says that  Easter Bunny and Easter Eggs are linked to pagan traditions. Meaning it is not originally a custom that Christians practice. The Easter Bunny was created as a rabbit because the pagan symbol of fertility was the rabbit, and spring time was associated with fertility. They served as symbols of the new life during the spring season. Eggs were chosen for the same reason, because they were associated with fertility and Spring, and Easter takes place in the Spring. It is also believed that the Easter eggs symbolizes Jesus' resurrection.

But whether you agree or not if it's proper to connect bunnies to Jesus' rising from being dead, Easter Egg Hunt is a beloved tradition of kids all over the world.
