Happy
Easter Felisa !
I've anxiously
been awaiting this day and to meet you Felisa! My name is L'tric
Bunny and I will be your Random Acts of Kindnesss Secret Bunny! I've
been a very busy little bunny, too! I've been hopping all over the
web! Finding all sorts of goodies and surprises that I hope will
make Easter all that more enjoyable for you. =o)
For starters... I hope
you like the page I made for you, Felisa. Growing up it was
customary that each of us kids would get a Alan's chocolate bunny
and a personalized easter egg along with other sweet treats. Those
were always my favorite! So each time you visit your easter page,
you can nibble on the chocalate bunnies a little. Throughout the
week there will be something added. A poem, a gift, candy - who
really knows *snicker* what I'll have for you. Cuz it's a surprise
silly! I got you thinking though. =o) I'll e-mail you to let you know when there's an update to this page. Let the spoiling begin!! =o)
*hugs*

Easter Bunny History
The Easter bunny has its origin in pre-Christian fertility lore.
The Hare and the Rabbit were the most fertile animals known and they
served as symbols of the new life during the Spring season.
The bunny as an Easter symbol seems to have it's origins in
Germany, where it was first mentioned in German writings in the
1500s. The first edible Easter bunnies were made in Germany during
the early 1800s. These were made of pastery and sugar.
The Easter bunny was introduced to American folklore by the
German settlers who arrived in the Pennsylvania Dutch country during
the 1700s. The arrival of the "Oschter Haws" was considered
"childhood's greatest pleasure" next to a visit from Christ-Kindel
on Christmas Eve. The children believed that if they were good the
"Oschter Haws" would lay a nest of colored eggs.
The children would build their nest in a secluded place in the
home, the barn or the garden. Boys would use their caps and girls
their bonnets to make the nests . The use of elaborate Easter
baskets would come later as the tradition of the Easter bunny spread
through out the country.
