DID YOU KNOW
The legend of the Easter bunny began in Pagan traditions, during the festival of Eostre the goddess of fertility and spring was celebrated. The rabbit was her animal symbol as they have long been associated with fertility thanks to their high reproduction rate.
The legend of the Easter bunny made its way into America during the 1700s when Germans immigrated to Pennsylvania. The egg laying bunny, “Osterhase” or “Oschter Haws”, would lay colourful eggs as gifts for well behaved children, resulting in the tradition of making a nest for the bunny to deliver his treats. Children began leaving out carrots for the bunny in case he got hungry. As this tradition became widespread through out America the Easter bunny began expanding his delivery service to include other sweet treats such as chocolate and small toys.

THIS WEEK IN HISTORY

During this week in history, the World Trade Centre AKA Twin Towers were opened on April 4th in 1973, this was a troublesome time in New York City history as the effects of the recession were strongly felt. Central Park was riddled with crime from drug deals to murder. With the city facing bankruptcy, NYC approached the federal bank for aid after which President Ford told NYC "to drop dead."
Even being on the brink of disaster, the Twin Towers were erected and surpassed the Empire State Building as the tallest building in the world (The Twin Towers only held this title for a year when the Sears Tower was built in Chicago). These towers brought about the New York City Renaissance during the 1980s and 1990s.
