And so a lot of today’s symbolism found in Easter can be traced back to either paganism, Christianity or Judaism.Easter eggs, for instance, were originally a pagan symbol of fertility and rebirth. As such, it was adapted to symbolize the resurrection of Jesus Christ in Christianity. It just so happened that Lent, a period of fasting in the Christian faith, also involved not eating eggs. So, the excessive consumption of them during Easter was par for the course.

Easter Dreams

I haven’t been able to buy fresh flowers because all the florists were closed, so I went on a forage in the green space just behind my street.

The lilies come from a legend surrounding the crucifixion. Apparently, white lilies sprung where Jesus was crucified—his perspiration was what made it happen. They have, as a result, become a symbol of purity as well as Jesus' resurrection.

As for the chocolate Easter candy, Lent was a hard period to get through. Among the many things that people fasted from, chocolate was probably one of the harder ones to avoid, unless you’re not a sweet tooth. Whatever the case, it’s only normal folks would indulge themselves in cacao-based treats after having to slog through 40 days of bodily dedication to tradition and faith.

If you’re familiar with the Christian faith, you’ll already know the other symbols that might pop up as décor on your Easter table: the lamb, palm branches, the cross. And maybe hot cross buns, soft pretzels, and dogwood trees.

Whatever the case, remember that it’s a family thing. Sure, décor is great and all, but the main focus should stay in the family. And toddlers going wild in the backyard, trying to find that last egg you ate and told nobody.
