An Eastern fairy tale
How are bunnies and hares linked to eggs? Among the many non-religious customs in various religions that originate from pagan celebrations of nature, the Easter Bunny must be one of the cutest. The Anglo-Saxon Easter Bunny and his Continental cousin the "lièvre de Pâques" (French for "Easter Hare") find their origins in the pagan celebration of the return of springtime. Way back in the old days (in springtime), when people would go out to forage for food on the land, they would find eggs in old hare forms and/or rabbit holes (the eggs were laid there by different bird species).
To illustrate this little fact, we would have loved to show you a big Fabergé egg, but we haven't had one in the last 30 years and the chance we'll have one in the coming 30 years is also rather small. Instead, we used the golden pin with a hare head that we do have.
