Easter Baskets
What are you hoping to find in your Easter basket this year? A chocolate bunny, jellybeans, M&M's, chocolate eggs, PEEPS® Marshmallow Chicks? Easter baskets weren't always filled with candy treats. In fact, Easter baskets were first used by Catholics, who carried food to mass to be blessed prior. Easter bonnets were used in a similar fashion. And, long before this Catholic tradition, it was traditional to take a basket seedlings to making an offering to the goddess, Ēostre. She herself was often depicted carrying a basket of eggs.
