The Easter bunny will no doubt visit the Port St. Lucie with the all the Easter egg hunts scheduled. Did you ever wonder why colored eggs, why a fabled bunny? It is believed by many that the Easter bunny first arrived in the U.S. in the 1700’s. German immigrants who settled in Pennsylvania and brought their tradition of an egg-laying hare called “Osterhase” or “Oschter Haws.” The children made nests in which it could lay its colored eggs. The tradition scattered around America and the mythical rabbit’s Easter morning deliveries grew to include chocolate and other types of candy and gifts. The decorated baskets replaced nests.
