Joyeuses Pâques!Bienvenue à une autre édition du Saviez-vous du dimanche. Étant donné que c’est la fête de Pâques, j’en profite pour me pencher sur l’origine du lapin de Pâques.
Enfant, je me rappelle que mes parents nous offraient toujours des cocos de Pâques. Papa était celui qui les cachait. Mon père était extrêmement créatif, il avait beaucoup d’imagination et ses cachettes n’étaient pas faciles à déceler. J’adorais partir à la recherche de ces petits cadeaux chocolatés! Alors, d’où viennent ces petits lapins?
Happy Easter everyone, and welcome to another edition of Sunday's Did You Know on CraftwithGrace.com! It being Easter, I couldn't pass up the opportunity of exploring the origins of the Easter Bunny!
Growing up, my parents would buy us Easter chocolates, and Dad was the one who usually hid them around the house. My Dad was extremely creative and imaginative, and I loved going on the Easter egg hunt throughout the house. So, where did this tradition come from?
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Bunny, "The Easter Bunny as an Easter symbol seems to have its origins in Alsace and southwestern Germany, where it was first mentioned in German writings in the 1600s. The first edible Easter Bunnies were made in Germany during the early 1800s and were made of pastry and sugar.
The Easter Bunny was introduced to America by the German settlers who arrived in the Pennsylvania Dutch country during the 1700s.[1]"
The arrival of the "Oschter Haws" (a phonetic transcription of a dialectal pronunciation of the German Osterhase) was considered one of "childhood's greatest pleasures," similar to the arrival of Kris Kringle (from the German Christkindl) on Christmas Eve.
According to the tradition, children would build brightly colored nests, often out of caps and bonnets, in secluded areas of their homes. The Oschter Haws 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 baskets.[2]
Parents of young children around the world fill child/children's Easter Baskets with presents candy and the most famous choclate bunny. Parents/ Guardians will wait until the child/children are asleep and then hide the baskets filled with candy and presents. When the child/children wake up they begin to look for their basket/s."
So there you have it! I'll be back tomorrow with Monday's Featured Stamp Set. In the meantime, have a very Happy Easter!
