In parts of Germany, especially in regions like Bavaria, there’s a lesser-known Easter tradition involving the Easter Fox 🦊🥚
Before the Easter Bunny became the dominant symbol, different regions in Germany had various animals delivering Easter eggs—and one of them was the fox!
- In some areas, people believed the fox hid Easter eggs for children to find
- The fox was likely chosen because it was common in rural areas and known for being clever and sneaky—perfect for hiding eggs
