Figures of hares or white rabbits are commonly found at Chinese Moon Festivals, where they represent longevity, fertility, and the feminine power of yin.

In Potawatomi myth, Wabosso is the Great White Hare (and the younger brother of Nanabozho) who travels north to become the greatest of magicians among the supernaturals

"Demonic" hares and rabbits are found on cathedral carvings and in other forms of Christian sacred art…but we also find the opposite: the pagan Three Hares symbol (mentioned above) representing the Holy Trinity, and unblemished white rabbits symbolizing purity, piety, and the Holy Virgin.
The hare was credited with powers of regeneration probably because of its well known fecundity. Its swiftness of movement and keenness of senses were seen as desirable defenses against forces of darkness. An amulet in the form of a hare amulet could be worn in life to endow its wearer with fertility, in death with the hope of rebirth, and both in life and in death for purposes of protection.
