Easter Animals

Throughout the years a variety of animals have represented Easter. The Easter Bunny of course is the first that comes to mind. It is said that he brings brightly colored eggs to children on Easter. The story of the Easter bunny is believed to have originated in Germany when the Protestants wanted to continue the Catholic tradition of eating colored eggs, but did not want to teach their children to fast during Lent. The Easter Bunny traveled to America in the early 18th century. But there are also other animals that represent Easter. Chicks, roosters, hens, and birds of all kinds welcome in not only Easter but spring as well. Below are some vintage Easter postcards from our collection. We love how the bunny in the first one is so cute, yet looks almost sinister! For more vintage Easter postcards, follow this link: Easter Postcards
