An absolute FEAST of up to the minute scholarly information on Easter, hares, goddesses, paganism, and sundry goodness from my colleagues on the Easter Project, Luke John Murphy and @CarlyDigsIt! youtube.com/watch?v=-u1uck…
Continuing our @HumAnE_Arch adventures in imaging technology…off to the Engineering department for a little tutorial in mCT scanning. How good do our @AHRCEasterEg rabbits look?!
We were just thinking the same thing!
Spent all my life* believing rabbits were a Norman addition to Britain *The last 2 years Kinda shook though
Really looking forward this lecture on Tuesday by @ProfNaomiSykes about her work on @ahrcpress funded project which uses #Easter as a lens for shifting baselines and changing perceptions of Cultural and Biological ‘Aliens’ #zooarchaeology Book here 👇sal.org.uk/event/explorin…
Why do we hide eggs at Easter? 🥚 And why, at one point, was there an Easter hare, not a bunny? 🐰 eht.social/2GZVNYb
For #EasterMonday the story of Britain’s original #Easter bunny: the brown hare. An introduced species that has enriched biodiversity and human culture. See full 3-min animation by @niznozify bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod… @ahrcpress @HPT_Official
Perhaps the hardest thing about being a historian of belief is knowing that humans will believe *absolutely anything* unassailably, while others around you still touchingly trust in the power of evidence and argument to change deeply held views

Easter eggs you say?
➡️ Did you know that the Easter Bunny is descended from the Easter Fox? 🦊 Historian of religion, Luke Murphy told us that the German Easter Fox delivered eggs on Easter Sunday long before rabbits were involved🥚🥚 🥚 🎧 Listen back on @BBCSounds for more Easter facts
Here are several reasons why I think it's important to counter the 'Easter was pagan' rubbish with properly sourced & attributed facts. 1. Bogus history obscures real history, and the real history is not just rich and interesting, it tells us who we are and how we got here.
It's Easter! You're full of chocolate! You need more Easter. More! @AHRCEasterEg has got you. Fill your eyes and brains with these tasty Easter treats! Art exhibit: bit.ly/3sUivbq Movie short: bit.ly/2PBGhue Deep dive academic paper: bit.ly/3dshLDW
The Shifting Baselines of the British Hare Goddess degruyter.com/document/doi/1…
We C14 dated the earliest evidence for Britain’s #Easter animals. Chickens and brown hares first arrive in the Iron Age (C5th BC) followed by the rabbit (C 1st/2nd AD) @romanpalace After post-Roman extinction, rabbits were reintroduced in the C13th AD @Gfdheritage @ahrcpress
The #EasterBunny isn't the only traditional patron of the holiday. Did you know Germany had an Easter Fox? Here's an article I wrote for the House Rabbit Journal on the history of the #Easter Bunny: ow.ly/dKk850wI4TA (I also explore this in "The Way of the Rabbit.")
One for @AHRCEasterEg @ProfNaomiSykes @Cavalorn methinks.. Happy Easter, folks!
One for @AHRCEasterEg @ProfNaomiSykes @Cavalorn methinks.. Happy Easter, folks!
Twitter is alive with the facts of #Easter! The things we assert we know because we read them somewhere or were told them once in our childhood. Why is the #EasterBunny associated with a goddess called #Eostre? Find out here scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&…
Happy #Easter Sunday! Tune in to @bbc5live ~9.30 this morning to hear our Dr Luke Murphy talk about the origins of Easter traditions. @ahrcpress

@Elena1701A It’s a pretty new finding! We’re seeing it with some other species too. Writing the publication soon!
It is snowing on Easter Monday. According to legend, this means that the pagan goddess Eostre has shut herself in her room and is listening to My Chemical Romance.
