Rabbits and
eggs, as previously mentioned, were intertwined with spring break as
representing their pagan inertia and rebirth. It seems that both of these
pictures merge into the rabbit, which lays eggs in place of the German
(traditional) chicken.
Historians
say that whosoever leaves them, the eggs are a prominent image of Easter, which
has come from the tomb to represent the resurrection and resurrection, says
history. One possible reason for decorating the eggs is that they were
decorated to enjoy Easter morning after Lenten's fast.
Whether it
was pagan or Christian associations with rabbis that eventually influenced the
Germans, we would never know. But one thing is sure: Easter Bunny every Easter
Sunday will bring joy and excitement to children all over the country.
It is a
known fact throughout the United States that Easter is the bunny that lays eggs
on Easter Sunday. Every year, curious kids run to see their Easter baskets
(probably a great DIY Easter basket idea) to see what kind of treats, chocolate
bunnies and other special furry cute, mythical creatures have left for them .
But, like Santa Claus and Christmas, the mysterious everyone has no apparent
connection to the Christian meaning of this holy day after Lent. So what is the
origin of the Easter Bunny and why has it become such a popular symbol?
One
theory of the origin of the Easter Bunny is that it emerged from the earliest
pagan celebrations around the early equinox, Time says. Pagans celebrated the
renewal of life in the spring, as well as the goddess of dawn and fertility,
Aostre, often represented with green or eggs. As Christianity spread throughout
Europe, festivities around the equinox period may have been celebrated with the
observance of Christ's resurrection, as both took place at approximately the
same time. The missionaries were asked to mix pagan traditions with Christian
festivals to
ease the transition, making it possible for the Eestre celebration and the
resurrection of Christ.
The earliest
evidence for a more modern Easter bunny dates back to the 1600s, when it was
first mentioned in German writing, the Mantle Floss Report. This rabbit, called
"Oscar Hubs" or Easter Hare, was supposed to lay colorful eggs for
children who were good.
Easter Bunny- Is the Easter a Real Bunny?
While there
is no real bunny that was ever the iconic rabbit, according to history, the
legendary egg-laying rabbit was brought to the United States by German
immigrants in the 1700s. As mentioned, children will build nests for the Oscar
Horse to lay eggs. This tradition spread throughout the United States, where
necklace gifts were eventually transformed into chocolates and sweets and nests
were replaced with baskets. Chocolate bunny figures also originated in Germany,
where they began making cakes for the legendary rabbit in the 19th century.
Easter Eggs- Why do we have Easter
eggs?
Many of us
can eat chocolate eggs for Easter, but church leaders initially do not eat eggs
during the week leading up to Easter (known as Holy Week).
Thus, all
eggs laid this week were preserved and decorated to make eggs of the Holy Week,
which were later given to the children as gifts.
The
Victorians adapted the tradition with a satin-coated cardboard egg filled with
Easter gifts.
It has now
developed into a tradition, which is enjoyed by many today.
