The THREE HARES motif is a trinity symbol and appears in sacred sites from the Middle and the Far East to the churches of Devon,
England, and historical synagogues in Europe. The earliest occurrences appear to be in cave temples in China, dated to the Sui dynasty (6th to 7th centuries).
The iconography spread along the Silk Road and was a symbol associated also with Buddhism. While each hare seems to have two ears, the symbol is actually a visual puzzle: a total of three ears connects them in their endless loop.
The original meaning of the three hares motif remains obscure, but it has a cross-cultural significance. The hare was a happy animal for the Germanic spring goddess Ostara (Eostre) and considered as a fertility symbol.
On clay lamps or mosaics - the motif of the hare can be found on many examples in art and architecture of antiquity. Here the hare/rabbit was considered a symbol of life and rebirth.
The first Easter Bunny legend was documented in the 1500s.
