Easter is upon us, and you know what that means: chocolate rabbits! Each year on Easter Sunday, a magical rabbit (actually a hare) comes out of the forest and brings baskets full of eggs, candies, toys and chocolate rabbits. The Easter Bunny, as he is called, hides the baskets inside each house, and the children who live there have to find the baskets.
When I was growing up, my basket was usually hidden behind the sofa. My brother found his once inside the oven (which was, thankfully, turned off).
If you're a kid, the Easter Bunny is the true meaning of Easter. Adults, however, know the holiday as a celebration of Jesus Christ and his rebirth. Kind of like Bodhisattvas who have postponed their own enlightenment in order to stay behind and help relieve the suffering of others, the ancient Christian texts say that Jesus came back to life to help save those still living.
