Celebrating Eostre / Ostara, Goddess of (Spring) Fertility represented by Hares and Eggs




The Easter Bunny is believed to be a German invention.   Very similar to Santa Klaus traditions.  Originally the Bunny did not hide the eggs, but similar to Santa, delivered 'the goods' on the night before, if you had been good.  

As for the Goddess Eostre / Ostara, she was conceived by Germanic's at a time when when much of present day Europe was considered Germanic wikipedia
