Lesson 2 Maheegun My Brother
• The Easter bunnies have become the most favorite Easter symbol. It's universal in its appeal. And, most important of all, it relates to Easter historically.
• Also the hare and eggs have something to do with the Anglo-Saxon spring goddess Eostre. Possibly, this is because both of them were regarded to be emblems of fertility.

1) Easter Bunny
B T L EW
Lesson 2 Maheegun My Brother
• As with today, children hunt colored eggs
and place them in Easter baskets along
with the modern version of real Easter
eggs—those made of plastic or chocolate
candy.
• The Armenians would decorate hollow
eggs with pictures of Christ, the Virgin
Mary, and other religious designs.

Lesson 2 Maheegun My Brother
• As with the Easter bunny and the holiday itself, the Easter egg predates ( 先 于 ) the Christian holiday of Easter. The exchange of eggs in the springtime is a custom that was centuries old when Easter was first celebrated by Christians.
• From the earliest times, the egg was a symbol of rebirth in most cultures. Eggs were often wrapped in gold leaf or, if you were a peasant, colored brightly by boiling them with the leaves or petals of certain flowers.
I. Easter Day2) Easter Egg
B T L EW
Lesson 2 Maheegun My Brother
Easter egg hunts can be part of a
community's celebration of the holiday. The
eggs are hidden in public places and the
children of the community are invited to find
the eggs.
The rules of an Easter egg roll are to see who
can roll an egg the greatest distance or can
make the roll without breaking it, usually
down a grassy hillside or slope.

Lesson 2 Maheegun My Brother
• The lovely white trumpet lily, main flower
of the Easter floral arrangements, has
been enjoying a great favor in being
included as a principal item for church
decoration for quite some time. It is a
perfect gift of nature to beautify our
Easter.
I. Easter Day
4) Easter & Lily
B T L EW
Lesson 2 Maheegun My Brother
On Easter morning the children of the house join in a search to locate the eggs that the Easter bunny has hidden while they were asleep. The searching might continue throughout the house with the older children helping the youngest. Sometimes prizes of candy are awaiting the child finding the most eggs.

• But its acceptance in America, as such,
dates back around the 1800s. It came in
with the rise in the Easter observances by
the Protestants in America. And, strange,
it took some more time to find a
widespread acceptance.

Lesson 2 Maheegun My Brother
In Egypt, the wolf was worshipped at Lycopolis—“the City of the Wolves”.
In Greece, the god Apollo was a wolf-god. A bronze wolf guarded his altar in the temple of Delphi.
Mars/Ares had a wolf for his emblem and was sometimes known to change into a wolf by donning a wolf-skin.
I. Wolf and ManMany ancient cultures held the wolf in high regard.
B T L EW
Lesson 2 Maheegun My Brother
The Norse god Odin was also a wolf-god.
He also resided over eagles and bears. Also
in Norse myth, the great wolf, Fenrir, was
a giant who took upon the permanent
shape of a wolf soon after birth.
Many Christian saints were associated with
wolves. The Slavs called St. Peter “the
wolves shepherd”.
In the traditions of Eastern Europe, St.
George was accompanied by wolves
wherever he went.
I. Wolf and Man
B T L EW
Lesson 2 Maheegun My Brother
St. Francis of Assisi made a pact with
the fearsome wolf of Gubbio, and the
townspeople observed this agreement by
feeding the wolf for the rest of his life.
In Roman mythology, the god Mars considered the wolf a sacred animal, and the founders of Rome were raised by a wolf. Eastern Europeans often viewed wolves as protectors of the harvest.
I. Wolf and Man
B T L EW
Lesson 2 Maheegun My Brother
I. Wolf and ManThe wolf is now extinct in Ireland, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary.
It is endangered in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Italy, Poland, Portugal and Spain.
Only in Alaska, Canada and Russia, has the wolf found its last stronghold.
Thus the tale of the wolf is indeed tinged with blood—but it is less the blood of Man than of the wolf itself.
B T L EW
Lesson 2 Maheegun My Brother
I. Wolf and Man
Things changed however, and the wolf became
a devourer of livestock and supposedly also a
devourer of people, especially children.
Native Americans also held the wolf in high
regard and believed that wolves carry some
characteristics that humans should also find
important, such as strong family structure
and teaching the young.

Cultural Note: According to the first part of the Bible, God created the world and everything in it in six days, and on the seventh day God rested. When God made human beings, he made a man called Adam out of the earth, and then made a woman called Eve out of Adam’s ribs (one of the curved bones that surround your chest). God assigned different roles to Adam and Eve—the first man and woman, Adam’s role being to take care of Eve, provide for her and protect her, and also to guide her. God created living creatures in the same way.
