Here in the United Kingdom, we will be celebrating Easter this year on April 20th. If this date sounds a little too late, it’s probably because in 2013 we were painting eggs, eating chocolate and attending sunrise services a whole three weeks earlier in the year. Easter is what is known as a movable feast, meaning there is not a fixed date for the event. Our celebrations are always made on the first Sunday after the full moon which follows the March or Spring equinox. The equinox is the first sign that the days are beginning to get longer, and with the new plant growth which we see in spring, it makes sense that we think of Easter as a time of growth, regeneration and new life.
Easter is celebrated in many different ways across the world, but here in the United Kingdom, we have a number of traditions which are observed every year. One of the most recognisable symbols of the time of year, especially for the younger generations, is the Easter Bunny. But did you know that the fluffy creature who brings us our Easter eggs originally began as an Anglo-Saxon symbol of fertility?
Hours of fun this Easter 2014
The same can be said for Easter Eggs, which have represented fertility and new life for centuries. Parents of young children will be all too familiar with the necessity of chocolate eggs in today’s Easter celebrations, and many of us will also take the opportunity to indulge in a few sweet treats ourselves. And if there weren’t enough eggs around the house from the likes of Cadbury’s and Nestle, many of us will have had to clean our kitchens in the wake of a session of egg decorating. Using paint, glitter and anything else they can get their hands on, children traditionally decorate eggs to commemorate the tomb which Jesus laid in for 40 days.
It can be easy to forget with today’s chocolate eggs and Easter bunny, but the Easter celebrations are rooted in early Christianity. Just as lent represents the 40 days and nights which Jesus spent in a tomb, Easter Sunday is a celebration of his resurrection. This is why Easter is thought of as a time for positive change and new life, and also why we notice the symbol of the crucifix when we’re sitting at the kitchen worktop tucking into a hot cross bun.
Some of us may have attended local church services, sung special hymns or held local events this Easter time, regardless of our religion of choice. Whether we celebrate the Christian Easter, the Jewish Passover or another equivalent, there is a common theme of regeneration and new life. In fact, many of us will take the Easter period as an encouragement to finally make those changes in our lives and homes that we’ve been putting off for a while.
Whether you’re set on cutting out sweets and treats from your diet or are planning to finally give your kitchen the attention it deserves, why not use Easter as the starting point for your new changes?
