A Brief Look at the History of the Easter Bunny
Easter is one of the most important Christian holidays only second to Christmas. It has been celebrated for centuries by Christians around the world. Many people wonder why everyone associates this occasion nowadays with colored eggs and bunnies. How does the Easter bunny and eggs commemorate the ascension of Christ into Heaven?
One has to go way back in time to learn how this association was formed. Spring has always been a time of celebration in many religions, because winter is over and life is starting to appear again. Baby animals are born and crops start growing during this time. Even the ancients recognized the coming of spring and the renewal of life with pagan rites. In the Saxon culture, a fertility goddess called Eastre was given her own festival. Since rabbits have a reputation for being very fertile, they became associated with the celebration prominently.
Many missionaries tried to conver the Pagans to Christianity during the 2nd century A.D.. In an effort to attract new members to Christianity, the missionaries adopted various customs and festivals into the religion. Since the festival of Eastre occurred at the same time of the year as the celebration of the resurrection of Christ, it was only natural that the two be combined into one holiday which included the sacred rabbit.
Over the years, Eastre was changed to Easter, and the rabbit, as well as the lamb, came to symbolize any innocent, vulnerable creatures who were sacrificed to pay homage to the sacrifice Christ made for man.
You would have to go back to the 1500s in Germany to find the origins of the Easter bunny as we know it today. Children believed that they would receive a basket full of colored eggs from a magical rabbit if they were good during this time. This was a custom which Pennsylvania Dutch immigrants brought to the new world during the 1700s.
Eggs have been considered a sign of rebirth since the early years A.D.. The eggs which are an integral part of the celebration dating back to the 600s when Pope Gregory the Great banned the consumption of eggs for the entire period of Lent. By the time Easter rolled around, people considered the eggs a special treat since they could eat them again. Although we don't follow this practice today, we have adopted the tradition of making decorated eggs a part of our Easter celebration. Doc No.azlcssaeh-sdgfhkl
