The Easter bunny is one of the most loved characters when it comes to celebrating Easter. It is a great time of year for people to dress as a bunny and hide eggs in the garden for children to participate in an egg hunt.  The first edible Easter Eggs were made in Germany during the early 19th century and were made of pastry and sugar.

Easter celebrates the rising of Jesus after his crucifixion. As the story goes, Jesus is buried in a cave shut off by an enormous rock. On the morning of Easter Sunday a miracle happens and Jesus is resurrected and carries on performing his work in Gods’ name.  

Like most Christian holidays, like Christmas it has become commercial. People are raiding shops to buy chocolate Easter eggs, which represent birth and new life. Chicks are also thought of when Easter comes and often enough you see many shops offering customers the chance to buy their very own fluffy toy chick.
