In every culture, the rabbit is a symbol of joy, good fortune, vigilance and magical powers.  The hare was a symbol for the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite, and was also linked with the Roman god Cupid.  In Egypt the hieroglyph for the hare is also the symbol for the moon.  In Chinese tradition, it is said that when you look at the moon, you will  see a rabbit mixing the elixir of immortality.  It is also a sign of the Chinese zodiac, and those who are born in the Year of the Rabbit are said to be kind, gentle and loving.  The rabbit appears on the moon in Buddhist mythology to shine as an example of self -sacrifice to all.
