Easter is the time of the Christian year when Christians remember the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. There are modern traditions to mark Easter which are very common - such as Easter eggs, the Easter bunny and chocolate. Have you ever wondered about the origins of the symbols commonly associated with Easter? Why is there an Easter Bunny and Eggs, how did the Easter bunny come to be, or why do we have baskets on Easter?
Some people believe that the Easter egg is a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and, the egg represents the womb from which Christ is reborn. Another reason people think that the egg came to be associated with Easter arises from pre-Christian spring equinox celebrations where the egg is said to represent fertility and rebirth.
The story of the Easter Bunny is thought to have become common in the 19th Century. Rabbits usually give birth to a big litter of babies, so they became a symbol of new life.
Did you know that the first chocolate eggs appeared in France and Germany in the 19th Century? The earliest “decorated eggs” were plain shells enhanced by chocolate piping and marzipan flowers. They very quickly became popular and remain a favorite tradition with chocolate-lovers today.
