Reblogged from The Celebration:
I was curious about the origin of the Easter Bunny, so I did some digging and here’s what I found. Remember, you’ve been forewarned by the title!
The Easter Bunny or Easter Hare got his start much like good old Kris Kringle – in Germany – or more specifically in the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. And just like Santa Claus, the whole point was to take an extremely important and foundational event in the Christian faith, slap a fuzzy round face on it and turn it into a reason to stay home from church to “spend time with your family.” (Oh yeah, political suicide going on here)
This is our number one post on The Celebration this week... it is so funny and eye-opening! We know you'll enjoy it if you're reading it for the first time, and it is definitely worth a RE-READ if you've read it before! Happy Easter, everyone!!!!
