Did you know the word
Easter evolved from
"Eostre."?In ancient times, the Anglo-Saxons celebrated the return of spring with a carnival commemorating Eostre-the goddess of Dawn and Spring.
The Sprintgtime festivals of Eostre took place around the same time of year the
Christian observance of the Resurrection of Christ. The birth rituals of spring and the triumph of life over death were historical events that were eventually brought together to be called
Easter.In England, they have
EASTER CONVENTIONS in the churches at EASTER TIME and the singing of
HANDEL'S MESSIAH..very popular
Until 1784, the French forbid the eating of eggs during Lent. Eggs collected during this time were either hatched or preserved for eating at Easter. The eggs would then be decorated and often colored red to symbolize the Easter joys to entice the children to eat them.
In England they began writing messages and dates on their eggs and then exchanging them with friends and loved ones.
Hot cross buns were among the earliest Easter treats,
made by European monks and given to the poor during Lent.
Candy is a relatively recent Easter tradition. Chocolate eggs, the most popular Easter candy, were first made in Europe in the early 1800s.
