RE: What came first, the egg or the bunny? : Origin of Easter Symbols (It wasn’t Ishtar!)

in #culture5 years ago

Fascinating the Christians did try and get credit for everything didn't they. This fits more as I have never seen the link with Rabbit and eggs. I often thought the egg part was something to do with spring and new life. Thanks for sharing, I will have to try and remember this one and spread the word; if I can pronounce them 💯🐒

Sort:  

They absolutely did haha You are right in that the egg and rabbit both represent spring and new life, but it was never associated with the resurrection of Christ. These symbols became adopted through pagan influence. Well, even the story of the resurrection was adopted, but that's another topic heh.

Hahah a lot of that book is from other places and blend of other peoples experiences 💯🐒
