The Easter Bunny wasn’t always the pink or white bunny that hides chocolate eggs in your house or garden. Long ago, he was called the Easter Hare. Legend has it, he was a large, handsome bird that belonged to Eostre, the Pagan Goddess of dawn, fertility and new beginnings. She changed him into a rabbit, which explains why the Easter Bunny now builds a nest and fills it with coloured eggs. melbournmagazine
