Easter History
Easter is a Christian festival that embodies many pre-Christian traditions. The origin of the name easter is unknown. Scholars accepting the derivation proposed by the 8th-century English scholar St. Bede, believe it probably comes from ‘Eastre’, the Anglo-Saxon name of a Teutonic goddess of spring and fertility, to whom was dedicated a month corresponding to April. Her festival was celebrated on the day of the vernal equinox.
Todays Easter holiday traditions associated with the festival survive in the easter bunny or easter rabbit, a symbol of fertility, and in colored easter eggs, originally painted with bright pastel easter colors to represent the sunlight of spring, and used in Easter egg rolling contests or given as Easter gifts in an Easter basket decorated with Easter flowers and other Easter decorations.
Caring for your German glass inge ornaments:
To care for and protect your glas inge ornaments for years to come, please be mindful of the following suggestions. Wrap your german ornaments individually in acid free tissue paper and pack your inge ornaments securely in a sturdy shallow box, making sure not to place too many layers in a single box. One layer is ideal. The box should be very sturdy and made of paper. Plastic bubble wrap and or plastic storage containers do not allow the German glass ornaments to have proper ventilation. Particularly if the made in Germany glass ornament is stored in a warm place like an attic or in a humid place like a basement. Also be sure to take care to store your items in a safe, dry place away from water, sun or fluorescent lights and other outside elements. We hope you enjoy your hand blown glass ornaments that are made in Germany.
