As the hare and rabbit were seen as highly fertile animals, they became symbols of new life in spring. Now, Easter eggs are often given as gifts and hidden for children to find, left behind by the Easter Bunny according to tradition, with egg hunts and prizes part of modern Easter celebrations.

3. Easter eggs are special eggs that are often given to celebrate Easter or
springtime.
The oldest tradition is to use dyed or painted chicken eggs, but a
modern custom is to substitute chocolate eggs, or plastic eggs filled
with confectionery such as jelly beans. These eggs can be hidden for
children to find on Easter morning, who may be told they were left by
the Easter Bunny. They also may be put in a basket filled with real or
artificial straw to resemble a bird's nest.

When the hunt is over, prizes may be given for the largest number of
eggs collected, or for the largest or the smallest egg.
