Have you ever wondered why….

The Easter bunny bring us decorated eggs ? 

The Anglo-Saxons worshipped a Goddess known as Eostre (originating from Babylonian times) who was playful and signified fertility and rebirth.  Her reign over the earth began at the Vernal Equinox marking the first day of Spring.  Legend has it that Eostre found a wounded bird and transformed it into a hare, so that it could survive the Winter. The hare found it could lay eggs, so it decorated these each Spring and left them as offering to the goddess. 

How is it that the Anglo-Saxons could think this? The Lapwing bird makes nests at ground level resembling a hare’s nest (forms).  The abandoned nests were perceived to belong to hares and people believed the orphaned eggs were of the hare. This gave them the belief that hares could lay eggs during springtime. 

The Christian religion adapted the celebration of Eostre and eggs became to signify new birth, the outer shell demonstrating that of the tomb of Christ and the chick signifying new life. 

Mother’s day is dedicated to saying thank you and what better place to express your gratitude than at The Crown
