If we celebrate easter with eggs, how did the bunny get into the picture?  | |  I just found out that the Easter Bunny started out in Germany in the 1500's and was introduced to America in the 1700's. The children were taught that if they were good that the "Oschter Haws" would come and lay a nest full of colorful eggs for them. So the children made nests and set them out in the garden. Do you celebrate easter and do you have an easter egg hunt?

 loujac3 (849) | 3 years ago | I like that! My daughters are adults now so the coloring of eggs is a thing of the past. I am not so excited about the candy anymore since I have to watch my glucose level. I am happy to see that the Peeps are out in sugar free for those who must be observant of that fact. Gotta love those little guys! | |

 nowment (1185) | 1 year ago |  It is interesting to see how tradtions start and then evolve and change over time, for all the various holidays. Also how with the world getting smaller and more cultures crossing over or overlapping, that things tend to blend and or mix and then change from there.
How some cultural traditions are forgotten or lost and others maintained.
I mean it would seem that the USA would have more in common with England, than other countries same language same origins yet christmas we don't have boxin day, and we say santa claus, rather than father christmas,
Makes me wonder how many places adopt different ideas or celebrations for various holidays.
