  The rabbit doesn’t lay eggs. They are both Celtic fertility symbols. Ostara is a spring festival tied to the spring equinox focused on awakening and rebirth. The church of Rome repurposed it into Easter.

    Got it. The Easter Bunny is an immigrant, over 1,500 years old, and has at least one ovipositor. Let me restate the remaining question: Why does it lay/bring Celtic fertility symbols?? I learn so much here.

      The bunny, and the eggs are both symbols of fertility. I’ve no idea why it’s the way it is nowadays though. Commercialisation?

      I didn’t realize Easter was an American holiday.

        No. But I have never locally seen the easter hunny as traditional. It was imported by the americans
