Easter Bunny on the lilies of valley's field.

Easter Bunny on the lily of valley's field.
The Easter Bunny (also called the Easter Rabbit or Easter Hare) is a folkloric figure
and symbol of Easter, depicted as a rabbit bringing Easter eggs.
Originating among German Lutherans, the "Easter Hare" originally played the role of a judge, evaluating whether children were good or disobedient in behaviour
at the start of the season of Eastertide.
The Easter Bunny is sometimes depicted with clothes.
In legend, the creature carries colored eggs in his basket, candy,
and sometimes also toys to the homes of children, and as such shows similarities to Santa Claus
or the Christkind, as they both bring gifts to children on the night before their respective holidays.
The custom was first mentioned in Georg Franck von Franckenau's De ovis paschalibus (About Easter Eggs) in 1682 referring to a German tradition of an Easter Hare
bringing Easter eggs for the children.
