Easter is a very important holiday in the Christian calendar and is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. However, within this religious tale, there is no mention of the infamous Easter Bunny and chocolate eggs - two very important aspects of the modern Easter celebrations we know of today in Western culture. The story that is told of the Easter Bunny is that it hides Easter eggs for children to find on Easter morning, including chocolate and other types of sweets and gifts. But why is the Easter Bunny Teddy such a popular toy figure for this celebration?
The origin of the Easter Bunny
The origin of the Easter Bunny has roots that go back to pre-Christian, Anglo-Saxon history, but the story is thought to have become common in the 19th Century. During this time, the popular German collector of fairy tales, Jacob Grimm, alluded to the fact that the Easter Bunny came from primitive German pagan traditions. This story then spread across Western civilisation at the time, despite there being no direct evidence of a pagan correlation.
Why are bunnies so popular at Easter?
Regardless of the many stories that are told about the Easter Bunny, there may be a simpler reason why bunnies are so popular around this time of year. April showers not only bring spring flowers but the birth of baby rabbits, and bunnies have become iconic symbols of birth and renewal. Bunnies have also always been associated with children and childhood, especially in literature with stories such as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, to Beatrix Potter. Bunnies are a symbol of love and new life that are guaranteed to make our hearts swell, so it’s no wonder why they are so popular at Easter and throughout the year.
What are the best gifts for Easter?
Easter is right around the corner, and with the last 12 months probably not being quite what we all expected, you might want to add an extra bit of happiness to your family and friends’ worlds and send them a joyful Easter gift. If you have children in your life, Easter can be a super fun holiday full of chocolate and sweet treats but it’s always good to have a longer lasting Easter gift. No matter whether you’re shopping for a child, or even an adult, there are so many wonderful gifts to spread a little bit of Easter magic - such as a Grin & Bear Easter bunny teddy. These gorgeous little bunnies are just like our teddy bears, cute and cuddly but with longer ears! Lovingly handcrafted in our London studio, they are a classic Easter gift that recipients of all ages will love.
