Easter is fast approaching, ipostparcels.com have been learning more about the history and traditions as well as munching on a few Easter Eggs. Take a look at we’ve found below:
Origins of Easter:
Easter is one of the most significant Christian festivals of the year dating back to the 2nd century AD it’s a festival to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Easter follows Lent, a 40 day preparation for Easter dedicated to fasting and prayer. Easter traditions include a candlelight vigil on Easter Sunday and a special church service called the Easter Eucharist.
The Easter Egg:
Secular and commercial traditions have come out of Easter as well with the most popular being the Easter Egg. The exchanging of Easter Eggs dates back to before Christianity was introduced, where decorated Eggs were given to one another to symbolise life and fertility.
The Easter Bunny:
The Easter bunny has its origin in pre-Christian fertility lore. The Hare and the Rabbit were the most fertile animals known and they served as symbols of the new life during the spring season. The bunny as an Easter symbol stems back to Germany, where it was first mentioned in German writings in the 1500s. The first edible Easter bunnies were made in Germany during the early 1800s out of pastry and sugar.
Easter Delivery:
