Many of us are so focused upon shopping and finding the best Easter gifts that we never stop to wonder why we are giving these gifts to our family, friends, and co-workers. Sure, we are giving it to them because the Easter holiday is upon us, but why is it celebrated?
The Complete Basketcase has always wondered why this holiday is celebrated. We love giving and preparing Easter gifts as much as you do, but we never stopped to think about why it is we are giving these baskets to others. We went on a quest for information and have decided to share that information with you.
The Somewhat Unknown Origin of Easter
While sifting through history books and research papers, we noticed there are several different theories regarding the origin of Easter. Most individuals believe that it is closely linked to the event detailed in the New Testament of the Bible. This event was the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Some individuals believe the origin of Easter is a little different. These individuals believe it is a celebration of the spring season and vibrant fertility. This belief comes from the fact that the word 'Easter' derives from the word Eostre, who is a goddess of spring and fertility.
