Well, in ancient times, such as the times of Pliny, Plutarch and Aelian, the hare was believed to be a hermaphrodite. The idea that the hare, or rabbit or bunny, could reproduce without the loss of virginity made it relatable to the Virgin Mary, who the Bible says was a virgin despite having Jesus as a son. The eggs are signs of fertility. We made egg hunts and candies for holiday games, like we did with Santa Claus and Halloween.
