Do you want to know why Easter eggs and chocolate have become the symbol of this important date for us?
Here are some interesting facts about Easter:
Easter bunny! How did it come about?
The image of the rabbit is linked to this commemorative date, as the rabbit represents fertility, as it reproduces easily and in large quantities. Ancient people believed that fertility was synonymous with better living conditions or preservation of the species, since at the time the mortality rate was much higher than today. In Ancient Egypt, for example, the rabbit represented the birth and hope of new lives.
What does fertility have to do with the religious meanings of Easter anyway? In both Jewish and Christian meanings, the date is related to the hope of new life, and Easter eggs are also in this context of fertility and life.
The Easter bunny was brought to America by German immigrants, where it has established a great celebration in the calendars to this day.
What does Easter mean
The oldest Christians celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ on this date (celebration of his soul uniting with his body again). The celebration was held on the Sunday following the full moon after the Spring Equinox (March 21).
Holy Week among Christians is one of the Catholic traditions linked to the week before Easter. This week begins on Palm Sunday, which marks the arrival of Jesus in the city of Jerusalem.
In Hebrew, the term Pesach means “passage, leap or leap”, which is related to the liberation of the Jewish people.
Paska is derived from Greek, while the term Pascua comes from Latin, which has a religious origin meaning “food”, that is, the end of the Lenten fast in Holy Week.
And in English, Easter, meaning Easter, is closely linked to the pagan cults of the fertility goddess of Norse and Germanic mythology Eostre.
They say that the rabbit and colored eggs came from this theory, as they are symbols of renewal from the goddess Eostre.
