Halloween will next fall on a Sunday in 2021.
Nothing, actually.
People have been celebrating spring for as long as weather got cold in the winter, and food supplies dwindled. Birds usually lay their eggs in the spring, so eggs were a natural symbol for spring, rebirth, and new life. Rabbits are very fertile animals whose babies scampered about in spring, so they also became symbols of spring. Many ancient cultures celebrated the coming of spring with religious ceremonies.
When the Romans were spreading across Europe, there were a lot of different religions, and assimilating people to Christianity was a challenge. Instead of simply forcing a whole new religion on people, they simply 'adopted' traditional dates and celebrated the Christian holidays on those same dates. Christmas also falls on around the time of pagan holidays that were celebrated during the winter solstice (Saturnalia, Yule, Rizdvo). Rabbits and eggs were both symbols of fertility and part of traditional pagan spring celebration of Ostara. They were incorporated into Christian Easter by a process of religious syncretism.
Usually at night or early in the morning around dawn. There is a theory that if you breed a doe at night she will have them at night and if you breed her at noon she will have them during the day. I don't think that is right. my experience is that they have them when they have them and most likely it will be at dawn when it is quiet and they feel safest.
Some unique names for rabbits are Linux, bungee-cord, happy face and Fishbone. It is also worth asking family and friends for unusual rabbit names.
There is no such thing as the Easter bunny. Parents / Guardians just tell you there is such thing to make the holidays brighten up and put a little more spirit into them :)
Remember once you stop believing, you'll also stop receiving.
Easter eggs represent Jesus' resurrection. Bunnies lay eggs therefore bunnies came to the picture of Easter
The only common name for a hare is a hare. Hares and rabbits are different! One of the biggest differences: hares give birth to fully furred, ready to go babies. Rabbits give birth to naked, helpless babies.
Answer 2: The hare is is a gnawing animal of the Leporidae family, closely related to but larger than the rabbit. They are usually not born in an underground burrow, are active at birth, fully furred, and have open eyes. The hare is known by it's divided lip, long ears, cocked tail, and and it's long hind limbs and feet. The hare was prohibited as food and is referred to as a chewer of the cud.

Like almost all mammals, rabbits bear live young. The egg-laying rabbit is an Easter legend.

Ahhh! Camp cooking, so much fun.
Here is a cooking trick for eggs.
Make small double handful size piles of sand as close to the fire as possible without being in the flames.
Take a whole egg in the shell and make a small hole in the small end with a pin or nail.
Set the egg in the sand pile using the sand like an eggcup with the small end up and the hole at the top. Allow the egg 10 minutes to cook turning two or three times so all sides get heat.
What you get is a baked egg.
If you try this without the hole in the egg it will explode and you will lose your breakfast.

Dying eggs is an ancient practice not originally related to Easter.
The association of died eggs with Easter was originated by early Christians of, who stained eggs red in memory of the blood of Christ, shed at his crucifixion. The Christian Church officially adopted the custom of regarding these eggs as a symbol of the resurrection; in 1610 AD when Pope Paul V gave the following prayer:
Bless, O Lord! we beseech thee, this thy creature of eggs, that it may become a wholesome sustenance to thy faithful servants, eating it in thankfulness to thee on account of the resurrection of the Lord.
Of course jelly beans are eaten during Easter. Nearly every child's Easter basket has jelly beans as part of their candy, along with chocolate rabbits and marshmallow peeps. Jelly beans are also often used as decorations on top of Easter cakes.
Easter is springtime and spring is the season for renewal of life. That little yellow fluffy chick has become the symbol of that new life for many people because the egg is also a sign of the circle of life renewed and the chick comes from the egg. This is a marketing tool for many advertisers. The cute little chick is very appealing and represents good things.
