Spring is in the air!
Spring is my favourite season for many reasons but here are a few;
· The change in weather, slowly we start to see longer days the glimmer of sunshine (still mixed with a bit of rain, I do live in the UK).
· The animals new and old, coming out of hibernation and growing their little families.
· Blooming flowers everywhere and the tree’s growing leaves again.
· Opening your windows to let in the spring breeze (even better after a good spring clean).
But before we get there the Easter celebrations begin. I have pulled together some interesting facts about Easter.
· Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ in the Christian religion.
· Eggs have been seen as ancient symbol of fertility, while springtime is considered to bring new life and rebirth.
· Americans spend $1.9 billion on Easter candy. That’s the second biggest candy holiday after Halloween.
· The first story of a rabbit (later named the “Easter Bunny”) hiding eggs in a garden was published in 1680.
· Easter takes place on a Sunday, after the 40-day period called Lent. Lent is referred to as a time of fasting, but participants focus more on giving up one significant indulgence.
· Holy Week is the celebrated during the week leading up to Easter. It begins on Palm Sunday, continues on to Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and then finally, Easter Sunday.
