It is a common misconception that bunny girls originated from the “Playboy” magazine. Actually, the Easter bunny was introduced to America by German Lutheran immigrants in the 1700s. The history of Easter eggs is even longer. The decoration of Easter eggs could be traced back to the 13th century in Europe. Rabbits are well-known for their speed of reproduction. If you put two adult rabbits together, within a year they could give birth to 15 babies. Like the bunny, the egg is also a symbol of creation. And therefore both the Easter bunny and the Easter egg are used for symbolizing the resurrection of Christ and the beginning of a new life. Long before the appearance of the Playboy bunny in the 1960s, it has been a custom for Americans to wear bunny costumes during the Easter festival.
