It's Dyngus Day in Buffalo! Many folks say nobody celebrates this post-Lenten holiday like our fair city! The Polish holiday always lands on the Monday after Easter marking the end of lent and fasting when folks can finally eat, drink and party again!
The Easter bunny originated in early fertility lore. the rabbit and its not too distant cousin, the hare were known as the most fertile animals, so they were chosen to symbolize new life during the season of spring.
