Where did the tradition of Easter baskets come from?
Most think of Easter as the catholic holiday and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Of course, Easter baskets and the Easter bunny have nothing to do with that. So where did the tradition come from?

There is more to the background of the tradition of Easter baskets but that is a quick summary.
