Easter is also a Spring festival celebrating ‘new life’ – not just the new life of Jesus, but the new life in the land all around us. This is where many of the more secular symbols of the season: eggs, flowers, lambs, chicks, bunnies etc. come from. And this is why people traditionally give Easter eggs as presents at this holiday.
For many Christian children Easter is a holiday that combines the religious aspect (a trip to church) with the fun of eating chocolate eggs. It is also an important family time for many Christian families who will come together to take advantage of a long weekend to have a big family meal and to celebrate together.
