Bunnies or Eggs for Easter?

What's The Meaning Behind Easter Eggs?  

Eggs are not just for Easter, but they are certainly very popular around this time of year!  Eggs represent many things including birth and rebirth, generation and regeneration, springtime or atonement.  In a nutshell (or p'raps in an eggshell) eggs  symbolise new beginnings.

While eggs have long been part of Christian Easter celebrations denoting the Resurrection, decorated eggs were also given in pre-Christian Spring celebrations to represent continuing life, with glorious colours telling the story of nature's renewal. Some stories also tell of the Sun-Bird being hatched in the World Egg, or two halves of an egg forming heaven and earth. 

At this time of year, eggs are hidden, coloured, hunted and rolled. Eggs are eaten and eggs are used to decorate many things, including people!

Other well-loved Easter symbols include chickens, spring flowers and bonnets, lambs and bunnies, and in Australia, the lovely Bilby has become recognised as part of the Easter celebrations.

Rabbits, including the Easter Bunny, are also symbols of new life and many people enjoy the magic of the story of the Easter Bunny hiding eggs for children and the young at heart!
