Eastern folklore is rich in symbolism and traditions, including those related to bells, eggs, bunnies, and other elements. These symbols are often associated with spring, rebirth, and renewal, and have been incorporated into various religious and cultural celebrations throughout history.

Bells are rung to celebrate Easter. According to tradition, the bells of the church remain silent during the week leading up to Easter Sunday, to mourn the death of Jesus Christ. But at midnight on Easter Sunday, the bells are rung joyfully to announce Christ's resurrection.

Eggs are also a common symbol in Eastern folklore, particularly during the spring season. In many cultures, eggs represent new life and rebirth. Painted eggs are an important part of Easter celebrations. The eggs are often decorated with intricate patterns and symbols, such as flowers, birds, and geometric designs.

Bunnies: In many Eastern cultures, the hare or rabbit is a symbol of fertility and rebirth, and is associated with springtime. This may be why the Easter Bunny, a character who brings eggs and treats to children on Easter morning, has become a popular part of Easter celebrations in many Western countries.

Other Eastern folklore symbols related to spring and renewal include flowers, such as cherry blossoms and daffodils, which represent the beauty and new growth of the season. 

All these traditions serve as a way to connect people to their cultural heritage and to celebrate the important moments in their lives. They also provide an opportunity for people to come together and celebrate their shared beliefs and values, regardless of their differences.

Overall, these Eastern folklore symbols reflect the deep spiritual and cultural traditions of the Eastern world, and they continue to be celebrated and cherished by people throughout the world today.
