Use The Symbols of Easter as Inspiration For The Decoration
The Easter Egg
Numerous cultures have connected the egg with the universe since the beginning of existence. For instance, the Persians held that the Earth emerged from a massive egg. The egg was often seen as a representation of springtime rebirth. Romans, Gauls, Persians, and Chinese all painted, embellished, and adorned eggs. The egg came to represent the creation of man from nature after the advent of Christianity.
The Easter Bunny
The tradition of the Easter bunny dates back to pagan times. People sacrificed rabbits to the Saxon goddess of spring, Eostre (the English Catholic holiday of Easter, Easter, is named after her). At that time there was a ritual hunting of rabbits. Now it is still part of the Easter holiday, but no one perceives it as a sacrament.
The Easter Bunny was first mentioned in a German fairy tale from the 15th century. There is a story about a rabbit who hid colorful eggs in the garden from the children. In American folklore, the Easter Bunny was introduced in the 17th century by German settlers in Pennsylvania. The children there believed that if they were obedient, the Easter Bunny would leave them a nest of colorful eggs.
