21 Response: The question of Lago in Lagomorphs

Lago comes from Ancient Greek for Hare, so lagomorph is a Hare Form, or form of a Hare (hares, rabbits, pikas) :) “Rude burrowing rabbits” is making me LOL, thanks for the great idea for a children’s book on archaeology! I’m on in! :) And on the association of lagomorphs with Easter, I think including the associations with spring time and fertility, it is interesting you bring up the practice of Lent. You’ve prompted me to think more on this and I have questions now to look into, re: possible Celtic pagan traditions or myths involving hares, later Irish folklife and superstition, later Irish Catholicism and Protestantism, then the colonial and migrant experience of Christians coming from these areas of Celtic origin to better understand the Easter hare in it’s socio-cultural and folklife contexts.
