Why is Easter celebrated?
Easter is an important Christian festival - it's when Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The Bible says that Christ died on a cross on a day called Good Friday. According to the Bible, Jesus was then resurrected and came back to life on Easter Sunday.
Easter is on different dates each year, between 21 March and 25 April, depending on when there's a full moon in Spring.
The story of the Easter Bunny is thought to have become common in the 19th Century
Rabbits usually give birth to a big litter of babies (called kittens), so they became a symbol of new life
Legend has it that the Easter Bunny lays, decorates and hides eggs as they are also a symbol of new life
