The first full moon after Spring Equinox is called the Harvest Moon. Easter is the following Sunday. That will be April 15 this year. Legend has it that primitive pagans thought that this would be a good time to celebrate the abundance of the Earth and would make homage to fertility gods. Rabbits are prolific and were connected to the rites. And that is where the Easter bunny comes from.
