Easter symbols and their meanings

_Elsa_

Tiffi is so excited to be getting all this information for Elsa’s next story. 

“Maybe Elsa can make me her co-author”, she thought. 

The more that she finds online and the more that she reads she realizes that she is going to be on google for quite a while. She looks at the time and realizes that she never had lunch, so she puts the computer aside for a bit and gets herself something to eat.

When she is back on the computer she decides to do one more Google search. She is really curious to know more about the animals and how they relate to this holiday. Aha! She chooses an article that shares information on traditional Easter symbols and their meanings. 

“Traditional Easter Symbols and their Meanings

Eggs and Chicks Like Rabbits and Hares, Chicks are often associated with Easter because, in Pagan times, they were signs of Fertility and New Life. The Early Christians took over the meaning of New Life because it helped them remember the Resurrection and having New Life through Jesus Christ. 

Bunnies, Rabbits and Lambs

These animals are often associated with Easter because most babies of the animals are born in Spring around Easter time. In Pagan times, like Eggs, Rabbits and Hares were signs of Good Luck and New Life. The Early Christians took over the meaning since it reminded them of Jesus being raised from the dead and having New Life.

The Lamb is a symbol of Jesus in the Bible as He was called ‘the Lamb of God’. This is because Lambs were and are still used in the Jewish faith as a sacrifice for people’s sins and wrong doings. Christians believe that Jesus was killed and sacrificed for everyone. In many countries, Lamb is eaten as the main Easter Day meal.” You can read more here.  

She does one final print out with this information and it’s time to walk away from all this searching.
