Easter Gift, Easter Baskets

Easter Sunday is a religious holiday when Christians all over the world celebrate the resurrection of the Lord, Jesus Christ. The date for Easter Sunday varies every year, because it falls on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the spring equinox, which occurs around March 21st. For 2011, Easter Sunday will be on April 24th. Many cultural aspects of this holiday, such as the Easter bunny, egg hunt, and Easter baskets, are observed by Christians and non-Christians alike.

The name of the holiday, "Easter", came from the pre-Christian Anglo-Saxon goddess named Eostre. She was the goddess of fertility and springtime. Since the rabbits and hares reproduce frequently with a litter per month, they were fertility symbols and the earthly incarnation of Eostre. Similarly, eggs were symbols of fertility and life. Eggs were colored, blessed and eaten at spring festivals in ancient culture. When the Anglo-Saxons were converted to Christians, their springtime festival, which occurred on spring equinox, was combined with the Christian observance of the resurrection of Jesus and given the name Easter.

The bunny became an Easter symbol initially in Germany, where it was first mentioned in German writings in the 1500s. According to a German legend, a white hare would leave baskets filled with candies, brightly colored eggs and other goodies for good children on Easter morning. The Easter bunny was introduced to American folklore by the German immigrants. The children would build their nest in hidden places in their home, or outdoors. Easter bunny would fill their baskets with colored eggs if they were good. By the 1800s, candies were commonly tucked into the baskets as well. Nowadays, Easter baskets are commonly filled with chocolate eggs, chocolate bunnies, candies, and marshmallow Peeps. The jelly beans have also been added to the baskets since 1930s because they look similar to eggs laid by birds.

Easter duckling has been added to baskets since they are associated with eggs. Bright yellow plush ducklings are the main component in some baskets. Another important symbol of Easter is the lamb, which represents the Lord Jesus Christ. Some Easter baskets contain a plush lamb instead of bunny.

Sending friends and loved ones an Easter Basket is an easy and fun way to let them know how much you care about them.
