Easter Bunny in Maastricht | Bunny and tradition

The Easter Bunny, the Easter Rabbit or Easter Hare is a folkloric figure and symbol of Easter originating among German Lutherans. The rabbit was first mentioned in 1682, referring to a German tradition of an Easter Hare bringing eggs for the children.
Eggs have been used as fertility symbols since antiquity. Eggs became a symbol in Christianity associated with rebirth as early as the 1st century AD. The eggs are associated with Easter specifically in medieval Europe, when eating them was prohibited during the fast of Lent. A common practice in England at that time was for children to go door-to-door begging for eggs on the Saturday before Lent began. People handed out eggs as special treats for children prior to their fast.
