#1 Easter Bunny
One of the most loved and popular symbols of this festival is the ‘Easter bunny distributing colorful eggs‘. It’s also called Easter Rabbit or Easter Hare in many countries like Canada and Ireland. In many ancient pictures from history, we can see a rabbit bringing Easter eggs which indicates how long Christians accepted this ‘Bunny‘ as the main feature of Easter celebration. “Easter Hare” was taken as a fertility symbol and played the role of the judge of whether children were good or disobedient in behavior at the start of the season of Eastertide since Christians were Romans.

Easter Lily
Lilium longiflorum which is more famously known as ‘Easter Lily’ is a beautiful flower that is more famous during the entire ‘Holy Week’. For the last 100-150 years, it has been accepted as a symbolic flower of Easter because somehow the blossoming process of this flower connects Christians to Christ’s rising from the tomb. From 1890 to 1920 Americans were importing Bermuda lily from Bermuda to New York. But nowadays, the Madonna lily is mostly used on Easter as a gift and bouquet, because it’s easy to grow in Europe.
#4 Palm Branches
The Palm Branches are connected with a victory event since Jesus’s time. According to John’s gospel, When Christ arrived in Jerusalem, “They took palm branches and went out to meet Him” (12:13 HCSB).
