The Easter Bunny is a symbol of Easter that is popular in western culture, especially with children. According to folklore, the Easter Bunny hides Easter eggs for children to find on Easter morning. However, the Christian tradition of the Easter Bunny has distinctly Christian origins. It is likely they were the ones to invent the myth of the Easter Bunny for their children. Once Grimm started the rumor, it began to spread, refined to suggest the Easter Bunny comes from the Saxon Goddess Eostre.
