7 Trendy Gift Easter and Decoration Ideas – Scribble and Scrawl
Easter commemorates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his Crucifixion. Celebrated on a Sunday, this springtime holiday is all about hope, love, peace and joyful living!
The long Easter weekend starts with
the Good Friday and ends with the Easter Monday. The Friday before Easter,
known as Good Friday commemorates the Crucifixion of Jesus at Calvary just
outside Jerusalem. Good Friday, also called Holy Friday or Easter Friday is an
observance that involves fasting and praying including church services. Holy
Saturday is the transition between Crucifixion and Resurrection. Easter and
Christmas are the two greatest Christian Festivals that are celebrated all over
India.
The word Easter appears to be
derived from the German Eostre, the goddess of the dawn—a bringer of light,
spring and fertility. The auspicious Easter day comes after the first full moon
following the northern spring equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. It is
recognized as the day when people’s faith reached its peak.
Easter signifies the ushering in of
the spring on earth, renewed hope and the beauty of new life. Trees have new
leaves and flowers. Birds build their nests anew and lay fresh eggs. Colourful
butterflies come out of their cocoons. There are signs of new life in all its
beauty, dignity and splendour spreading joy everywhere all around.
Sharing customs and traditions with
Christmas, Easter comes to be associated with Easter Bunny and Easter Eggs.
Easter bunny is a folkloric figure and symbol of Easter depicted as a rabbit
bringing eggs for children. Easter egg is an artificial chocolate-egg or
decorated egg, given on Easter to children. Eggs signify fertility and the
beginning of new life, and hence are used as a symbol for the resurrection of
Jesus Christ.

Fabergé. Faberge proceeded to make a white enameled golden egg, which opened to
reveal a golden yolk containing a small golden chick with ruby’s for eyes.
Between 1885 and 1917, a celebrated
series of 50 “Imperial Easter eggs was created for the Russian Czars as Easter
