Easter Games
The Easter games is a jaunty symbol of the annual Christian holiday of Easter. (Easter marks the day that Jesus of Nazareth
is believed to have risen from the grave after his crucifixion.)
According to tradition, the Easter Bunny makes his visit every year,
scattering brightly-colored eggs as he goes. The origins of the Easter
Bunny aren't clear; the first recorded references to him (as "Oschter
Haws") are generally agreed to have come from Germany in the 1500s. In
ancient times the rabbit was a symbol of fertility, equated with
springtime and renewal of life, and the hare was also associated with
the moon, whose cycles determine the precise date of Easter each year.
Over time these traditions presumably merged with the annual celebration
of Easter itself, and now the Easter Bunny is associated with Easter in
much the same way that Santa Claus is the secular symbol of Christmas.
