Osterwasser or Easter water is water collected on Easter early in the morning, before sunrise. It is said to have healing and protective powers and won’t go bad.
On Saturday before Easter many cities in Germany celebrate with an Osterfeuer (Easter Fire). An Easter Wheel (Osterrad) though is a regional custom.
We all know that the Easter bunny brings the Easter eggs. But it wasn’t always just the bunny; for example there was the fox – der Osterfuchs.
