Easter

If you are wondering where the Easter bunny and Easter eggs came from, well it is a symbol representing the gods of the spring and fertility passed on from generations to generations.
According to holidays.net,  the name Easter is thought to come from the Scandinavian “Ostra” and the Teutonic “Ostern” or “Eastre,” both goddesses of mythology signifying spring and fertility. Traditions associated with the festival survive in the Easter rabbit, a symbol of fertility, and in colored easter eggs painted with bright colors to represent the sunlight of spring.
