Origin of the Easter Basket
The Easter Bunny evolved from a number of traditions, some dating back thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, the rabbit was recognized as a symbol of fertility and renewal – a belief that traveled to Europe in the Middle Ages where it became entwined with the symbolism of eggs as a symbol of fertility and rebirth during spring time. It became natural, centuries later, for these symbols to turn up in our Easter baskets as chocolate bunnies and egg-shaped candies. Jelly Belly Candy Company reports that the jelly bean became associated with Easter in the 1930s when small candies were placed in nests, the jelly beans looking similar to bird's eggs.
