The Best Way to Celebrate Easter 2016

In the world there isn’t a unique way to celebrate Easter 2016: every country has its own traditions and beliefs and this occasion gives a different value.

Easter Traditions

In the countries of Northern Europe, for example, Easter is celebrated with the arrival of Spring. Sweden and Finland on Palm Sunday are blessed of popolar branches with white gems. The ritual that children perform the week before Easter has medieval origins: dress up as witches and distribute their letters in exchange for candy. Typical food of the Easter holidays in Finland is the “Pasha” made of cheese and the “Mammi”, a rye pudding. In Sweden they eat colored hard-boiled eggs. In Denmark, the houses are decorated with flowering branches and painted eggs, in Easter Sunday the entire family gathers for a cold buffet and the children get the chocolate bunny.

Church bells in France remain silent until Good Friday as a sign of grief for Jesus Crucified. The children are told that they fly away to Rome before returning Sunday of Easter. When they are ringing the bell children begin the search for chocolate eggs hidden by their parents before the festivities.

The Easter fires burned hand with pieces of wood or with a large lens are German custom. In Germany, in fact, it is the flame of the “sacred fire” as Easter tradition, while the ashes are scattered in the gardens by farmers, are the propitious omen for the harvest. Cakes and dishes typical of the festival are the lamb and chocolate egg, donated to children from a bunny named “Osterhase”.

In Israel they celebrate two events: the Christian Easter and the Jewish holiday of “Passah”. During Holy Week there are processions and through the various stages of the life of the Cross. The Jewish holiday of “Passth” begins on the Thursday before Easter and remember the exodus of the Jews in Egypt and lasts seven days.
