1 The egg is the most typical symbol of Easter. Because eggs are pregnant with new life, people often regard eggs as a symbol of having many children and grandchildren and resurrection.

2. Later, Christians gave the egg a new meaning, thinking that it was the symbol of the tomb of Jesus, from which the future life was born.

3. The rabbit is the messenger who sends eggs to children at Easter. Because of its strong reproductive ability, people regard it as the creator of new life.
