Historical significance
⬝ Easter egg
Easter is widely popular for its association with eggs. According to the Christian tradition, eggs are linked to the resurrection of Jesus Christ - the empty tomb that brought with it a message of hope and new life. The connection between eggs and Easter has been prevalent in many cultures for centuries, and the practice of decorating and gifting eggs during Easter has become an important part of the holiday.
Egg decoration has a long and rich history, with different cultures developing their unique techniques and styles. Some of the earliest decorated eggs date back to ancient Persia, where they were used in springtime celebrations. In many Eastern European countries, such as Ukraine, Poland, and Russia, egg decoration has been an important tradition for centuries, with intricate patterns and designs created using wax, dyes, and other materials. In the United States, the tradition of Easter egg hunts has been popularized, where children search for brightly colored and decorated eggs filled with candies and toys.
⬝ Beaming bunnies
In the European tradition, Easter eggs are also linked to the Easter Bunny. Rabbit is a symbol of fertility and new life in many cultures, making it a fitting representation for the Easter story. Additionally, rabbits and hares are often associated with the spring season, which is when Easter is typically celebrated in many parts of the world.
The Easter Bunny is commonly portrayed as an adorable rabbit that delivers baskets of eggs and sweets to kids on Easter morning. Although it is not a religious icon, it has gained great significance in Easter celebrations across various cultures.
