The first time this question about who the Easter Bunny is intrigued me when I was looking at Easter wallpapers for my desktop and came across a huge number of his images next to Easter baskets with eggs, Easter cakes and flowers.
What is what? My subsequent meeting with this fabulous creature occurred when, in the “Handicrafts for Easter” section, I again came across an image of a hare.
Rabbit again? Easter Bunny... Hmmm...
“We need to find out more,” I thought.
It’s interesting: I understand about eggs, Easter cakes, and cottage cheese. But Easter and the Bunny? Let's try to figure it out.
The story of the Easter Bunny. Why the Easter Bunny became the emblem of Easter
- The times of pagan gods... Pre-Christian Europe, or more precisely Germany. Goddess of dawn and fertility - Eostra. Due to its fertility and ability to shed every year, as an association of new life, the rabbit became Eostra's assistant. He was always nearby and helped carry out the lighting fixtures.
By the way, the same hare accompanied Aphrodite, the goddess of love. Perhaps, specifically since then, the rabbit, as an image of fertility and prosperity, has been reincarnated as a sign of Easter among the Germans since the sixteenth century.
- Another version says that the hare is a lunar beast. Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the coming of the full moon.
- There was a legend (16th century) about the Easter Bunny laying eggs and hiding them in the forest. Surely, the Germans wanted a little fairy tale, and instead of an ordinary chicken, they depicted a hare in the legend given to us. So in Saxony the cockerel brought eggs, in Bavaria - the cuckoo, in Hesse - the fox, in Alsace - the stork.
- There is also the most recent version of the manifestation of this shaggy beast. One poor lady, who had absolutely no means to support her own children, hid the stolen eggs in the front garden near her house. The children saw them when a rabbit was jumping near the hiding place. Then the children realized that a shaggy hare had brought them the eggs.
Although, they say, there is a fact in history when Goethe invented a game for friends. Its meaning was to hide the hare.
The Easter Bunny is one of the "greatest joys of youth" in Europe. Early in the morning on Easter, children who had behaved well all year heard the phrase: “The Easter Bunny hid some braids somewhere, you need to find them.” After all, the Easter Bunny hides various goodies on the eve of the holiday. Kids should run and look for a basket with candies, gingerbread, and eggs. This Easter sign is so ingrained among the Germans that the father of the family or the eldest son even dresses up in it (a lighter option is to put on ears and a tail) in order to bring satisfaction to his loved ones, especially children. Various toys, souvenirs and various tinsel are made in the shape of rabbits.
In 1991, a museum dedicated to this beast was opened in Germany.

- Dough:
- 250 ml warm water
- 1.5 tsp. active dry yeast
- 640 g flour (4 tbsp. per 250 ml)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 160 g honey (0.5 tbsp per 250 ml)
- Also:
- vegetable oil
- 6 raw eggs
- 1 egg for greasing
- 18 chocolate chips or raisins
Easter cakes, Easter cakes, painted eggs - all these are classic dishes of the Easter table. I wanted to experience something new, unusual and exciting to amuse both children and adults.
Easter bunnies are exactly what I found. Cute beautiful animals firmly hold one testicle in their paws. It’s not easy to take it away from them, you need to negotiate.
The recipe is simple, but I was hesitant to bake these bunnies because I was afraid that the raw eggs would burst when baked in the oven. That’s why I decided to bake half the batch. But everything went well, and the eggs baked in the oven tasted like regular boiled eggs.
How to cook Easter bunnies at home
Step-by-step recipe description
- Show as huge photos with description
1. Pour warm water into a small container and pour the yeast into it. Leave for 10 minutes until foam appears.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sifted flour and salt, add honey and water with yeast.
Knead the dough.
If the dough is very stiff, you can add a little water. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic on a lightly floured surface.
You can also knead the dough in a food processor.
3. Form the dough into a ball and place in a bowl greased with vegetable oil. Cover the bowl with cling film and leave to rise in a warm place for one hour.
4. After an hour, knead the dough and divide it into 6 equal parts.
Form 6 balls, cover with a towel or film and leave for 5 minutes.
I baked half a batch and divided all the ingredients into two, which is why there are only three balls in the photo, not 6.
5. Roll out the dough balls into an oval 18-20 cm long. Make a 5 cm long cut in the upper part of the oval and push the edges of the dough apart. From here the bunny's ears will grow :).
6. Measure 2 cm from the cut to the right and to the left and create more cuts slightly at an angle, forming the head and paws of a bunny.
7. Carefully transfer the pieces onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Thoroughly wash and dry raw chicken eggs.
Place the eggs on the bottom of the oval. Place the bunny's paws on the bottom of the egg. Move the ears further apart. Create a nose and eyes from chocolate chips or raisins.
Using a toothpick, draw a mustache near the nose, create stripes on the ears and on the paws.
You can design a girl rabbit and a boy rabbit :).
Correcting mistakes: it is better to form the mustache and other stripes with a toothpick just before baking.
8. Cover the bunnies and leave in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Brush with beaten egg and bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes at 190 degrees.
9. Easter bunnies are ready and happy to create for you. Bon appetit!
