Easter Bunny
The legend of the Easter Bunny (or Easter Hare) and eggs were first noticed in German folklore and emerged in the 19th century as the main symbols of Easter. They symbolize new life and beginnings. The bunny was first mentioned in Georg Franck von Franckenau's "De ovis paschalibus" or “About Easter Eggs” (1682), 

In German Lutherans traditions and stories, the "Easter Hare" figure would judge children on their behavior, if they have been good or bad. The good children would receive colorful eggs as rewards on Easter Sunday. The Germans created a tradition of an egg-laying hare called "Osterhase" or "Oschter Haws".

The rabbits and eggs, as well as the Christian story when Jesus rose from the dead and started a new life, both similarly are about new life and new beginnings, and both are the basis for Easter.
