When did the Easter Bunny and Easter Egg Hunting become a part of Easter?

Easter was originally a religious holiday to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, but it has since become a secular holiday in the mindset of most people. There is absolutely nothing in the Bible regarding the resurrection of Jesus that is about rabbits or eggs.

I am guessing it was to get children into it, but the children probably looked more and more into the secular parts of Easter instead of the religious aspects, especially since religion has been on the decline in the U.S.

Plus, what do eggs have to do with rabbits anyway? Rabbits don't lay eggs; they give birth like humans do.
