Beloved by children in the UK and US alike, the Easter Bunny is perhaps one of the most recognizable symbols of the spring season for English speakers. That’s because the Easter Bunny comes from the German tradition of the Osterhase - literally Easter hare. But according to Manfred Gräfe of the Berlin City Museum Foundation, the exact origins of the Easter Bunny folklore are unknown, and there are a number of different theories. And naturally the bunny didn’t just stay in Germany, travelling abroad to places like the United States with German or Prussian immigrants.
