Easter

The Best Easter Gift—Chocolate

An Easter basket without an Easter bunny, chocolates, and Easter candy. It's hard to imagine.

Easter is a major Christian holiday that officially marks the end of Holy Week and, with it, Lent. It’s no wonder that the holiday is automatically associated with chocolate Easter bunnies, Easter chocolates, and other delicacies. Easter chocolate as far as the eye can see.

Over the centuries, Christian religious traditions have blended with symbols of spring and fertility from other cultures. Our Easter bunny, for example, has its origins in a pagan symbol of fertility. However, all Easter customs have one thing in common: they are associated with enjoyment, a sense of renewal, and positive feelings.

Easter bunnies and Easter eggs: preferably made of chocolate

Easter Sunday marks the beginning of the “Easter season of joy,” which lasts fifty days and ends with Pentecost. At the same time, Easter also heralds the arrival of spring, which evokes a positive outlook on life even among connoisseurs: it’s high time for a festive Easter basket filled with Easter chocolate, pralines, truffles, or marzipan.

Chocolate and chocolate bunnies belong in every Easter basket

No other holiday is associated with as many rituals and regional traditions as Easter. The Easter bonfire dates back to pagan times, and another popular custom is to decorate vases with twigs and colorfully painted Easter eggs. In New York, there’s the traditional “Easter Parade,” and in Hungary, men sprinkle their wives with perfume on Easter Monday. But no ritual is as popular as giving and hiding Easter baskets filled with chocolate and other treats.

According to legend, the Easter Bunny paints his Easter eggs in cheerful, bright colors and hides them in a nest for the children, along with chocolate, nuts, brittle, or nougat. It’s a good thing that adults also enjoy the game of hide-and-seek. Because once the little ones have found their Easter nests, there are Easter treats for the whole family: chocolate Easter bunnies, chocolate Easter lambs, or marzipan Easter eggs—and for Easter pastries, cakes shaped like a bunny or an Easter lamb are served.
