Easter-Which came first-the rabbit or the egg?

I was wondering today about the symbols of the Easter bunny and Easter egg.  Where did they come from?  There is much debate about the actual origin and it’s pre-Christian status, but one thing everyone seems to agree on is the fact that the “hare” was a symbol of fertility because of its multiple births and the “eggs” an Ancient Roman symbol of the seeds of life.  I’m nodding my head as I’m researching and {insert light bulb going off} Only thing is rabbits don’t lay eggs???….so somewhere along the line the symbols came together. Medieval Europeans gave decorated eggs as gifts and dyed them for spring festivals-perhaps the hare/bunny started delivering them.  Mix in  springtime celebration, Easter, new life,  and a tradition is born. It’s all very curious.  With that being said, here are some treats for the holiday.
