The Crazy Things About Easter

So I don’t think it is any secret the the Easter Bunny comes on Easter, because what kid doesn’t know that by now, right? But since today is in fact the day the Easter bunny came, here are some strange things to think about relating to Easter:

1. A RABBIT LAYING EGGS: Now I’m no biology major, but since when do rabbits lay eggs? I mean I understand it is for the children, but doesn't it seem a little strange that there is a rabbit pooping out eggs in a basket filled with candy????? Again, maybe it is just me and I’m probably over thinking this but you know it is kinda an odd thing to think about.

2. HOW DOES THE EASTER BUNNY GET IN?: Santa comes through the chimney, the Tooth Fairy is freaking magic who knows how that gets in, and Jesus is in our hearts; but the question is, “How does the Easter Bunny get in?” I don’t really think parents explain this to their kids, but then again I never really asked this question either. If they ask though, maybe you should tell them he just rang the door bell and you invited him in for some drinks.


3. NO MEAT ON FRIDAYS: Ever wonder why the Church says one cannot have meat on Friday during Lent but fish is acceptable? TBH everyone I have not researched this, but my teacher told me that when this rule was first implemented in the early ADs, fishing was a major career. When the Pope instated this rule, the fishermen were like, “YO YOUR EXCELLENCY, WE FISHERMEN ARE GOING BANKRUPT!” So the Pope was like, “ALRIGHT EVERYONE YOU CAN HAVE MEAT ON FRIDAY!”, then he thought to himself “It’s not that great anyways…” I don’t mean to poke fun at the Church I am Catholic, I’m just exaggerating…a lot.

4. The Date on Which Easter Falls: Now this is interesting, most holidays have specific dates or at least have something easy to remember to know when in falls right? Like Mother’s Day is the first weekend of May. I suppose that Easter is like that too, its on a Sunday forty days after Ash Wednesday. Alright. When is Ash Wednesday? AH! Gotcha. See nobody ever knows its not like, “Yea, I think it’s on the 23 of February.” Does anyone know if that’s even a Wednesday?! Probably not. Although there are those people who pull out the calender on their phone right away and are like, “HOLD ON I GOT IT RIGHT HERE!” And again I haven’t looked into this much and I go to a Catholic school so I should know this, but Easter has to do with the moon cycles and like the equinox I believe. So unless you know your astronomy, you probably won’t always be sure when Easter is going to fall.

So there you have it, 4 really odd things that Easter has revolving around it’s day of EGGcelency. Excuse my puns. But I hope everyone has a fun Easter, go hunt eggs and everything! If you would like, you can reply to this. How big do you think Easter Bunny is? What does he look like? How large is his excrement? What do you do for Easter? Do you still hunt for your basket? I know I do!
