Easter is just around the corner, and you know what that means! It’s time for the Easter Bunny to hop into action! But have you ever wondered where this furry little creature comes from?
The Easter Bunny is believed to have originated in Germany in the 17th century. Back then, German children would build nests out of hay and place them in hidden spots around their homes. They believed that the “Osterhase” (or Easter Hare) would come and lay colourful eggs in their nests if they were good. These eggs were often decorated with intricate patterns and designs.
Over time, the tradition of the Easter Bunny spread throughout Europe and eventually made its way to the United States. In the 18th century, German immigrants settled in Pennsylvania and brought the tradition of the Easter Bunny with them. Soon, the Easter Bunny became a popular symbol of Easter in America.
But why a bunny? The bunny is a pagan symbol of fertility and new life, so it’s a perfect fit for Easter. In ancient times, the hare was associated with the goddess Eostre, representing spring and renewal.
Today, the Easter Bunny is an iconic part of Easter celebrations worldwide. Kids look forward to waking up on Easter morning and finding a basket full of treats, including chocolate bunnies and colourful eggs. Some families even leave carrots out for the Easter Bunny as a treat!
