Why we celebrate Easter

The Little Raccoon is woken up by a cheerful bunny who shows him a large nest full of colourful eggs, “They all still need to be delivered and I’m running late. Can you help me?” That must be the Easter Bunny, the Little Raccoon thinks. While he helps the bunny, he asks, “Why do we have eggs at Easter?” But this book deals with much more than just the old customs. “Did you know that we celebrate Easter for a very specific reason?” the owl asks and then explains to the two friends, “Jesus showed us that God loves the world and that love is stronger than anything else. Even stronger than death. And that is what we celebrate at Easter.”
