Easter With Peter Rabbit - a photo on Flickriver

            The Easter Bunny can be traced back to Thirteenth Century, pre-Christian Germany, where people worshiped several gods and goddesses.  The Teutonic deity Eostra was the goddess of spring and fertility, and feasts were held in her honor on the Vernal Equinox.  Her symbol was the rabbit because of the animal’s high reproduction rate.  In the Eighteenth Century, the tradition of an egg-laying hare called “Osterhase” or “Oschter Haws” also came out of Germany.

Easter Eggs represent the birth of new life, and it’s believed that decorating eggs for Easter also dates back to the Thirteenth Century.  Hundreds of years ago, churches had their congregations abstain from eggs during Lent, allowing them to be consumed again on Easter.

The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 8th of April is “eggs in black and white” as we draw nearer to Easter 2022.  Therefore, I am celebrating with Peter Rabbit, who whilst not the Easter Bunny, is a well loved character from my childhood.  "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" is a children's book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter, published in 1901, that follows mischievous and disobedient young Peter Rabbit as he gets into, and is chased around, the garden of Mr. McGregor. This Peter Rabbit egg-shaped lidded tin was a gift from a friend Easter two years ago.  I hope you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile
