Why are Chocolate Eggs and Bunnies Part of the Easter Tradition?
Every year, chocolate eggs and bunnies arrive in the shops, announcing that Easter is just around the corner. But why do we have Easter eggs and bunnies, and why are they often made from chocolate?Firstly, in pre-Christian pagan times, spring was a time to celebrate the ancient goddess of fertility, Eostre. “Easter” derived its name from here. The rabbit symbolises fertility and new life, and so the Easter bunny was born.Secondly, where did the chocolate Easter egg originate? Similarly to bunnies, eggs are synonymous with new life and rebirth. In the mediaeval times, eating eggs was forbidden during Lent (the 40 days before Easter) so on Easter Sunday, being able to eat an egg was seen as a real treat. Fast forward to a modern-day Easter 2023, and chocolate eggs are the new traditional treat. And, what better way to break your Lent fast, than with a Godiva chocolate Easter egg!?
