Never knew about the fertility goddess! :) Dandelion on "Easter Basket Story?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easter-basket-story#post-680380 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 10:34:34 +0000 Dandelion 680380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <a href="http://www.dgreetings.com/easter/easter-basket-history.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.dgreetings.com/easter/easter-basket-history.html</a> An excerpt: "Since ages Easter baskets have played a pivotal role in the celebrations of Easter. As we all know, the season of spring has always been seen as a time of new life and renewal. And in the spring, it was customary to take baskets of early seedlings to the fertility goddess Eostre (or Oestre) to increase the chance of a good harvest. According to the legends, the fertility goddess Eostre (or Oestre) carried a basket of eggs. Thus, Easter baskets signify new life, rebirth and renewal. The Easter Basket ritual has its origins in the German folklore of the Easter Hare. According to a German legend, a white hare would leave Easter baskets filled with candies, brightly colored eggs and other goodies for kids to come and gorge on them on Easter morning." shopaholic on "Easter Basket Story?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easter-basket-story#post-680367 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 10:16:18 +0000 shopaholic 680367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Love seeing everyone's LOs and Easter Baskets on IG this morning! My parents never really did anything for us for holidays like stockings or Easter (they are very laid back Buddhists). So I've never had an Easter basket. Looks so cute though for kids and I've made some before for DHs nieces and nephews, but is there a story behind the baskets? Or it's just another chance to spoil the kiddies with a ton of goodies? Genuinely like to know to be able to tell K one day when we give her a basket!
