Bunnies Easter And Eggs Hum!

Have you ever asked yourself where the story of the Easter Bunny comes from? I mean really, do the Easter Bunny and colored eggs really say anything about Jesus' resurrection? The answer is no. The folklore of the Easter Bunny dates back to the 13th century and came from pre-Christian Germany. The pagan people of that time period revered a variety of gods and goddesses. The goddess of spring and rebirth was known as Eostra, which is where the word Easter came from. As you may know, spring is the season of new life. On account of this, Eostra's representation was the rabbit. The rabbit indicates regeneration since rabbits are well recognized for their significant rate of breeding. Eventually, this representation of Eostra lead to other myths and in the 1500s, the first account of the Easter Bunny was published. Now that you know where the Easter Bunny comes from you are possibly curious to know about the eggs. Eggs have been a symbolic representation of fertility for ages and were likely incorporated in early pagan celebrations of spring. As Christianity became more widespread in Europe and in Germany, previous pagan practices began to merge with fresh Christian holidays. Today, we recognize that Easter eggs represent Jesus' resurrection. Over time the Easter Bunny myth developed even further and turned into what we know it as today. Similar to the folklore of Santa Clause, parents in Germany would tell their little ones that if they were well behaved the Easter Bunny would appear and lay eggs that the children could trade for candy and other goodies. People began the tradition of making nests for the eggs and these nests ultimately morphed into the vivid colored Easter baskets that we have these days. The story of the Easter Bunny first came to the USA in the 1700s when German immigrants arrived in Pennsylvania. At present, this Easter tradition is a common aspect of our culture as are heaps of other norms which come from the homes of our immigrant ancestors.
