Easter 2007
Dear Jessica Lynn Smith,
Springtime is coming soon with new flowers, plants, egg hunts, and most
importantly, a visit from me...the
Easter Bunny!
Mom and Dad asked me to remind you of all the beauty, joy and peace of the
Easter Season. It is a time of hope and often starts new beginnings in life. So
be on the look-out around Easter 2007, for some brightly colored eggs and
maybe even a jellybean or two...
Have a Happy
Easter!
And a Happy Spring!
Your Friend,
The Easter Bunny
Easter 2007
Dear Jessica Lynn Smith,
We all look forward to Easter with Easter
Egg hunts and chocolate bunnies. Mom and Dad wanted me to send you this to help
you learn more about Easter traditions. Long, long ago the egg was an ancient
symbol of life. During Lent, the 40 days before Easter, eggs and sweets were
forbidden foods. Lent ended at Easter, so we celebrate Easter with baskets of
candy and Easter Eggs!
The word Easter comes to us from the ancient German goddess of Spring, named
Eastre, whose symbol was the rabbit (that's me!). Through the years, I have
remained a part of the celebration of Easter. My helpers and I hide Easter
baskets and eggs for you to find. Before the time of Jesus, people celebrated
the coming of Spring and the ending of Winter. Today we still celebrate the
arrival of Spring but also, we remember Easter as the time of the Resurrection
of Christ. Ask Mom and Dad more about this.
This Easter look for a special egg with pretty designs on it. I
hope you enjoy the celebration with your family and friends in Canton, Michigan.
Happy Easter,
The Easter Bunny
