Why does Easter have something to do with rabbits?

Westerners regard rabbits and eggs as one of the symbols of Easter, because they think rabbits have strong reproductive ability and regard them as creators of new life.

Eggs symbolize the sun and new life, and dyeing eggs in color symbolizes happiness in life. Later, Christians gave the egg a new meaning and regarded it as a symbol of the tomb of Jesus, from which the future life was born. Every Easter, foreign parents will specially prepare eggs and rabbit-shaped chocolate candy for their children, and relatives and friends will also give eggs to each other.

There is a saying called "Crazy as March Rabbit", which says that rabbits become crazy in early spring. At that time, male rabbits fought fiercely with each other in order to pair with female rabbits.

At the same time, the female rabbit often refuses the male rabbit again and again before giving in to the male rabbit, which makes the pairing behavior look like a crazy dance. This scene made early observers think that the arrival of spring made rabbits crazy. Rabbits and hares belong to the family Rabbinidae. They breed rapidly. A female rabbit can conceive a second litter of rabbits at the same time as the first litter (the two litters will be born separately).

Main features:

Lamb is a common animal. The Bible says that God will test Abraham and let him kill his only son himself as a sign of sincerity. Abraham did so. When he raised the knife, God ordered an angel to stop him. At this time, Abraham happened to find a ram and sacrificed it instead of his son.

Therefore, it is an ancient tradition to sacrifice sheep. Later, the lamb also symbolized the son of God, because it was said that he was framed, took the sin for mankind and was tortured on the gallows. Later, people had the custom of eating mutton on holidays.
