Easter - Traditions, Poems and Easter Greetings
In Christian belief, more specifically Catholic traditions; Easter is the season to rejoice and celebrate the resurrection of our Saviour Jesus Christ, this season is highly symbolic because without resurrection the entire Christian faith would be thrown into question, this is why the resurrection is highly regarded across many countries. The reasons to celebrate such occasion are many but the way it is celebrated varies according to individual beliefs, some will celebrate it with a solemn service, others hide eggs and bunny shaped chocolates with candies for the children to find and others exchange the famous easter baskets. Regardless of how it is celebrated, the reasons to remember these days in our hearts are many. There is no higher proof of God's love towards the human kind than to have offered his only begotten son to die for your transgressions so that we may be saved from the unbearable burden sin bestows upon us. Furthermore, we are reminded that God's son came to the world, took our form and overcame every test thrown at him which encourages us to live a life without sin, he showed us that it is possible. After his crucifixion the most remarkable event was his resurrection which is why Jesus Christ is regarded as our Lord and Saviour, not just as a simple prophet. The tradition of sharing Easter gift baskets is said to have started due to the belief that Christians have that you must give something up and fast until after Easter has passed. The fasting includes giving up on diary products, eggs, meat and such; this season lent starts during fat Tuesday. In ancient times people used to have a large Easter supper which represented the end of the Lenten fast, during such celebration people brought large feasts to the church in baskets to be shared with everyone, this is the direct link and symbolism which explains Easter treats and gift baskets. This beautiful tradition brings people together and helps them celebrate such special religious occasion which happens only once a year. Today, Easter is celebrated among Christians in many ways, through poems which express the beauty of Christ resurrection and nature's rebirth (equinox), through gift exchanges and candies for children which encourages them to rejoice during this season and remember the reason of this celebration. Easter however, gives us the ultimate gift of hope and reassures faith in our Lord.
