The bunnies are a symbol of new life (breed like rabbits) and the start of spring, were upside down so seasons are back to front, Easter along with being a festival for christianity and passover for Judiasm is also the start of spring and the end of winter in the northern hemisphere, and was celebrated by a lovely feast - after a hard winter.

The chocolate thing is to do with lent as your supposed to give up luxuries for that time. ]]> Fri, 02 Apr 2010 15:32:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32621&PID=986573&title=easter-eggs#986573 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32621&PID=986481&title=easter-eggs#986481 Author: TysMummy

As far as I know, all those things have kinda been tacked onto easter over the years. I'm a Christian, and don't see any particular religeous significance to them, although I know some do (Suzie explained the symbolism for those who do see them that I way, pretty well, I think. I have an idea that the bunny's a symbolism of life too... bunnies breeding like they do and all... but I'm not sure). Despite the fact that buns and eggs don't have any meaning for me, I still enjoy both! No idea where the chocolate came from, but have no complaints about it

We used to get them on Good Friday then we'd have all weekend to eat them.

Dh is getting his on Sunday, followed by hot cross buns for breakfast.

We always did it on sunday morning as kids, and last year, we didn't give DS one as he was only 5 months old. This year, he's spending sat night at his nana and grandads, so I'm not sure when we will give him it.
Personally, I love chocolate, so anytime's good! LOL]]> Thu, 01 Apr 2010 11:09:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32621&PID=985709&title=easter-eggs#985709 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32621&PID=985700&title=easter-eggs#985700 Author: TysMummy
