Easter: tips to create a festive mood

Alongside with Christmas, Easter is a milestone holiday in Christianity. With a slight difference in the Catholic and Orthodox calculations as to its date, sometimes it coincides. The whole Christian world rejoices Jesus’ Resurrection together then.

As for the historical background in a nutshell, the word “Easter”, it originates from Proto-Germanic and celebrates the Goddess of fertility and spring, also sunrise. “Аustron” meant “dawn” or “sunrise”. It marks the equinox as well. So as we can see, it had nothing to do with the present sense from the beginning.

Resurrection in different countries: what unites people

It is always interesting to observe how pagan traditions transferred after the introduction of Christianity in many countries. Even though the religious idea comes from the Bible, common for all, it often has some local flavour. The celebration refers to the revival of nature in spring, with eggs implying the beginning of life and bunnies hinting at fertility.

While the Ukrainians are engaged in drawing eggs, say, American kids are busy searching for chocolate ones hidden in the garden. It is nice to admit though, that these originally authentic traditions are mingling and conquering the world nowadays.
