From which country did the Easter bunny tradition originate?
The Easter bunny story seems to have originated in Germany, where it was mentioned in their writings in the 1500s. It originated with the pagan festival of Eastre for the goddess Eastre, who was worshiped by Anglo-Saxons through her earthy symbol, the rabbit. The rabbit served as a symbol of new life during the spring season and is part of pre-Christian fertility lore. The Easter Bunny as an Easter symbol bringing Easter eggs seems to have its origins in Alsace and the Upper Rhineland. The first edible Easter Bunnies were made in Germany during the early 1800s and were amde of pastry and sugar. The Easter Bunny was introduced to America by German settlers who arrived in the Pennsylvania Dutch country during the 1700s. According to the tradition, children would build brightly colored nests, often out of caps and bonnets, in secluded areas of their homes. The "O_ster Haws_e" would, if the children had been good, lay brightly colored eggs in the nest. As the tradition spread, the nest has become the manufactured, modern Easter basket, and the placing of the nest in a secluded area has become the tradition of hiding eggs.
