The Easter Hare or Bunny

There is much to the story of the Easter Hare and its origins in European Folklore, Paganism and the blending of rituals with Christianity. The Grimm Brothers played a role in spreading the story. Mia also has a hare friend in my tales.

Easter or Ostara is associated with fertility, birth, the true coming and celebration of Spring.

If you celebrate having an egg hunt today, eating good nosh then I wish you a Happy Easter!
