Got it. The Easter Bunny is an immigrant, over 1,500 years old, and has at least one ovipositor. Let me restate the remaining question: Why does it lay/bring Celtic fertility symbols?? I learn so much here.

The bunny, and the eggs are both symbols of fertility. I’ve no idea why it’s the way it is nowadays though. Commercialisation?
