The meaning of easter in american traditions dates back to the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the celebration of this matter. While German Pagonists celebrate Sex and Fertillity. The German Paganists believed in a Goddess named Ēostre who they believe is the original individual who birthed the name Easter.
Apparently Ēostre used to host feasts in celebration of fertility with the Pagan Anglo Saxons until it was replaced by the Christian celebration of easter, according to Bede whom was an english monk of Northumbrian monastery of Saint Peter.
Also in Europe celebrations of Rabbits and Hares often take place due to Folk customs in england.
