When our tenants dropped off the check last night, they brought an Easter basket for Akesha. That was very nice and sweet of them. Since Akesha was sleeping when they came by, she did not know about this eater basket yet. All she knows...is Papa will bring her a toy, and that will be after hubby gets home from work. I am sure she will be delighted to see this Easter basket. I guess this is the first basket she got this year...and more to come!What is the history behind the Easter basket anyway? According to my source, Easter gift basket is not simply an ensemble of various goodies and treats. Rather it brings home the meaning of Easter to all of us. There is more to these popular Easter ensemble than the eyes can see.
According to the legends, the fertility goddess Eostre (or Oestre) carried a basket of eggs. Thus, Easter baskets signify new life, rebirth and renewal. The Easter Basket ritual has its origins in the German folklore of the Easter Hare. According to a German legend, a white hare would leave Easter baskets filled with candies, brightly colored eggs and other goodies for kids to come and gorge on them on Easter morning.
The German settlers when moved to U.S., popularized the tradition of the Easter hare. And as the days passed, the Easter hare became the Easter bunny delighting the kids with baskets of eggs, chocolates, candy, jelly beans and other goodies on the Easter morning. Nowadays markets are flooded with a large range of Easter baskets to suit all tastes and preferences
