The history of easter
Easter is a Christian holiday that commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is typically celebrated on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox, which falls between March 22 and April 25. It originated from early pagan festival called Ostara, that celebrated the arrival of spring.
The name "Easter" came from the word "ēostre, aka Ostara" which was the name of a pagan goddess of spring. Over time, Easter became an important Christian holiday and is celebrated around the world with various traditions and customs.
The Easter Bunny
The tradition of the Easter Bunny (Osterhase in German) is believed to have originated in Germany during the 16th century. The bunny was seen as a symbol of fertility and new life, due to its rapid rate of producing offspring and was eventually incorporated into Easter celebrations as a bringer of eggs and gifts that were left in baskets children had made and decorated.
