Last
weekend was Easter it was interesting to see how we all celebrated this day. Christians were in churches remembering the
great sacrifice and love of their saviour Jesus Christ. Those to whom a holiday
is a holiday could be spotted in large numbers at popular entertainment joints.
All in all it was a nice weekend to a great percentage. In the western
countries they have a twist for the Easter holiday. The Easter eggs
On the eve of
Easter Sunday kids leave decorated eggs that they had been preparing all week many children wake up
to find that the Easter Bunny has left them baskets of candy. He has also
hidden the eggs that they decorated earlier that week. Children hunt for the
eggs all around the house. Neighbourhoods and organizations hold Easter egg
hunts, and the child who finds the most eggs wins a prize.
Easter bunnies
The Easter Bunny is a rabbit-spirit.
Long ago, he was called the "Easter Hare", hares and rabbits have
frequent multiple births so they became a symbol of fertility. The custom of an
Easter egg hunt began because children believed that hares laid eggs in the
grass. The Romans believed that "All life comes from an egg."
Christians consider eggs to be "the seed of life" and so they are
symbolic of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
So however you spent your Easter I hope
it was a nice one and lets all look forward to the next and maybe try out the
other culture.
