The Vision

For the longest time, I have asked myself why a "bunny" is the universal mascot and symbol for Easter in this country. Why would a bunny have ANYTHING to do with Easter? Why not a bird, or a goat, or a bear, or a lemur, or a kangaroo, or...well you get the point.

Easter Goat

• The Easter Bunny is really the Easter "Hare"
• The "Hare" was a companion of the Goddess of Spring - Eostre
• "Easter Bunny" Lore was circulating before the birth of Christ

So, what actually happened was that fat little German kids were spoiled brats and, therefore, upset that Christmas was over and they wouldn't be getting anymore presents for a long time. Their stupid parents noticed this and decided to create another holiday in which they could give their kids gifts in appeasement.

Fat Kid
This "spring festival" indicated the start of the new season. The rabbit represented fertility (breeding like rabbits) and therefore was used to symbolize "new life" in the fertile spring season. So anyway, these parents told their fat kids that the Hare would bring them presents at the Spring Festival, so they made a place in which to collect these presents - nests (Easter baskets). In these nests the Hare was supposed to place brightly colored eggs (symbolizing new life as well) and gifts during the night. And there's a bunch of other stuff that I'm too tired to write about and you're probably bored of hearing about so we'll just leave it at that. Just know that probably you'll get some rabbit turds this Sunday in the shape of eggs...so enjoy!
