The Easter Bunny is one of the Easter symbols. It takes the form of a rabbit that gives gifts to children at Easter time. It has its origins in Western European cultures and is usually depicted as a hare rather than a domestic rabbit. It also has a long history in the eastern half of Europe, such as Hungary. As a prolific animal, the rabbit symbolizes the resurrection of spring and the birth of new life. The rabbit was the pet of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and the candle-bearer of Horta, the Germanic goddess of the land.
