Like many folk traditions of saying “Rabbit, rabbit” to your colleagues on the first day of the month has an unclear origin and has several variations and interpretations. We use it a reason to explore university research into food sources; the proper business of education communities everywhere. In one version of the tradition, saying “Rabbit, rabbit” or “White rabbit” as the first words upon waking on the first day of the month is believed to bring good luck for the rest of that month. It is thought to ensure good fortune, happiness, and general positivity throughout the coming weeks.
The specific origins and reasons behind this tradition are difficult to trace, as superstitions often evolve and are passed down through generations. It’s worth noting that this practice is not universally known or followed, and its popularity may vary among different regions and communities. Ultimately, the saying “Rabbit, rabbit” on the first day of the month is an example of a charming and whimsical superstition that some individuals enjoy participating in as a fun way to start the month on a positive note.
Nonnberg Abbey (Stift Nonnberg) in Salzburg, Austria.
In both the stage musical and the 1965 film The Sound of Music, the nuns of Nonnberg Abbey sing a “Morning Hymn” (also known as “Rex Admirabilis,” part of the Preludium sequence with “Dixit Dominus” and “Alleluia”). This occurs early in the story as part of the abbey scenes involving Maria and the other nuns.
Nonnberg is a real Benedictine nunnery (founded around 712–715 and the oldest continuously existing nunnery in the German-speaking world). The real Maria von Trapp was a postulant/novice there before being sent to the von Trapp family, and exterior shots (courtyard, gates, etc.) were filmed on location. Interiors were recreated on a Hollywood set because filming inside was not permitted.
