About this document
Easter Traditions and Their Origins by irene cid is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Easter traditions originate from both Christian and pagan beliefs. In the United States, Easter is celebrated through church services, egg hunts, and gifts from the Easter bunny. Many American Easter customs, like decorating eggs and gifting chocolate bunnies, derive from ancient European spring festivals and symbolism of fertility. The name for Easter varies by language but ultimately comes from the Hebrew word "Pesach" referring to the Jewish holiday of Passover.
