So yeah. Easter. Not a big fan I must say. Then again I'm not religious. However I am satirical
and I like the whole Zombie Jesus thing that's been sweeping the interwebs as of late. It only makes sense that if someone comes back from the dead, they'd be a zombie, right?! If you're curious you can check out this website for a little info on that: http://www.zombiejesusday.org/ And also I found a little snippet on the mythos of the Easter Rabbit and what it's all about, which is below. Also after the short read there is a picture I'd like to share of my personal experience with the Easter Bunny. Enjoy!
The Goddess Ostara and the Easter Bunny
Feeling guilty about arriving late one spring, the Goddess Ostara saved the life of a poor bird whose wings had been frozen by the snow. She made him her pet or, as some versions have it, her lover. Filled with compassion for him since he could no longer fly (in some versions, it was because she wished to amuse a group of young children), Ostara turned him into a snow hare and gave him the gift of being able to run with incredible speed so he could protect himself from hunters.
In remembrance of his earlier form as a bird, she also gave him the ability to lay eggs (in all the colors of the rainbow, no less), but only on one day out of each year.
Eventually the hare managed to anger the goddess Ostara, and she cast him into the skies where he would remain as the constellation Lepus (The Hare) forever positioned under the feet of the constellation Orion (the Hunter). He was allowed to return to earth once each year, but only to give away his eggs to the children attending the Ostara festivals that were held each spring. The tradition of the Easter Bunny had begun.
