Easter: the futility of rabbits
1. Easter: the futility of rabbits
Rabbits tend to multiply very rapidly.
The tradition of the "
Easter rabbit" or "
Easter bunny" has pagan origins in
fertility rites going back to Babylon.
The land of Spain on the Iberian Peninsula comes from the "
Land of rabbits" or "
Iberia" or "
Ispania".
Magicians deceive the mind and the eye in order to put the
rabbit into the hat. This allows them to
appear to pull a rabbit out of a hat.
2. Fibonacci sequence and golden ratio
The Fibonacci sequence (1202) in mathematics has origins in the counting of rabbits as they multiply.
The Fibonacci sequence is related to the golden ratio, golden rectangles, etc.
The sequence starts with two
1's. Each following term is the sum of the previous two terms.
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 ...
3. Fibonacci in nature
The "
Fibonacci sequence" and associated "
Golden Ratio" appears often in nature, must be precisely tuned, and has many implication for a created universe.

4. Easter bunny
The modern tradition of the "
Easter rabbit" or "
Easter bunny" or "
Easter hare" originates from the
German Lutherans.
This original "
Easter bunny" was a judge who decided, at the start of "
Eastertide", whether children were
good or
bad.
Aristotle says that to properly use logic, one should define all words. He then proceeds with the definition of a definition.
The German word "Osterfest" ≈ "Eastertide" as in the "Easter" and "festival".
5. Fertility rites
Some of these ideas may have pagan origins in fertility rites going back to Babylon as rabbits multiply quickly.
This is true of the "
egg" but not as clear in regards to the "
rabbit" or "
bunny".
There are many bunny rabbit jokes. They tend to multiply.
To
sum it up, Many children these days have
sum trouble with
multiplication. There is a
difference of opinion, but
times are tough. And their troubles are
multiplying. Does that
add up? What does the
remainder say about what is
left over?
6. Spain and the land of rabbits
The land of Spain on the Iberian Peninsula comes from the "
Land of rabbits" or "
Iberia" or
Ispania".
The Greeks called it "Hesperia" as in a garden visited by Hercules and from which, through Latin, comes the English word "vespers".
The Carthaginians (Hannibal, etc.) called it "Ispania" from the local name for "rabbit".
The Romans adapted the name in Latin as "Hispania".
Latin developed into Spanish where the name is "España" (as the leading "h" sound disappeared).
7. Versed in magical attention
To pull a rabbit out of the hat, the magician must deceive the eye and the mind in order to put the rabbit into the hat.
There are many ways to divert the attention of those in the audience in order to accomplish this trick of deception.
Some pastors will do this by focusing attention on part of a verse (e.g., details of the original Greek) to draw attention away from other parts of that verse or nearby verses.
When one starts to look at the entire context of the verses, things may not look as clear as portrayed.
