All about Easter
Everybody says Easter is about Jesus but actually, it’s not all. Like most major holidays, Easter’s roots dig deep into the study of the Earth and the changing of the seasons.
In the beginning, “Easter” was simply a celebration of the arrival of spring, falling on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox.

Bringing about a poetic parallel between the Earth’s annual rebirth — and the reemergence of plant and animal life — and the story of Jesus’ resurrection, the religion of Christianity chose to combine the two celebrations into one. (That’s why the date of Easter Sunday changes every year!)
But that’s not all. The term “Easter” pre-dates Christianity, too. Around the late 7th to the early 8th century, a British monk named Vernal Bede named the dawn after the winter’s darkness Easter after the Germanic goddess Eostre.
According to mythology, Eostre ruled as the goddess supreme of fertility! This explains why we all are obsessed with eggs during Easter even though they have absolutely nothing to do with Jesus’ resurrection.

And the Easter Bunny? During the 17th century, the German tradition of the “Easter hare” become popular. Greatly revered for their sexual prowess and fertility, rabbits have long been a symbol of springtime renewal. Later, the Easter Bunny transformed into a Santa Claus-like figure and tried to keep naughty children in line by rewarding them with eggs for their good behavior.
