Wating for Easter holiday

Easter is celebrated as the rebirth of Jesus Christ. He rose on the third day from Good Friday, his crucifixion day. Easter holidays are meant to go on holidays abroad. Also at this time of the year, most of the holiday destinations around the world enjoy plenty of sunlight and warm conditions.

You can expect to visit places without the crowd that are expected only during the peak summer vacations. The term of holiday began with Easter in large parts of the Mediterranean region, and when major holiday destinations remain popular throughout the year, it is during Easter holidays that even the smallest of destinations thrive with visitors.

In addition to a vacation there are other home embellishing activities that you can engage in during your Easter holidays. Easter hat can be made using raw materials found in home. Easter bonnet is made in homes using leaves or flower garland as it stands to signify the sun and its travel round the heavens, an indication of onset of spring. Candles, lights, bonfires are the symbol of celebrations during this time in a large number of countries. In some churches, the candles are put out on Good Friday and then lighted again on Easter Day with Easter Candle.

Eggs are the symbol of new life that returns during Easter Time, and the custom of exchanging eggs started before the celebration of Easter began. Earlier, red colored eggs were used to signify the Resurrection, and in some countries, the eggs were marked with dates and messages, and exchanged with loved ones and friends. In the 19th century, candy eggs came into existence, and they were kept open from one end, with a scene inserted. They were common to be found during Easter time, placed as table centerpieces.

Easter bells also have great significance during the holidays. During ancient times, bells in churches kept ringing daily. However, they stopped on Maundy Thursday and left for Rome so as to get blessed by the Pope. Good Friday and Easter Sunday are days of mourning and recollection, so these are also observed as days of silence. The bells only ring on Easter Sunday when they return from Rome, bringing with them Easter Eggs that are dropped in the gardens.

Another important element of Easter was Easter water that was considered to have great beneficial virtues. In old times, people used to visit the river early in the morning and brought water with them. The water along with the branch received from the church was used in order to bless their home and safeguard it from evil. Easter water was also taken in order to cure diseases.

Easter Bunny, the first hare associated with Easter symbolizes rebirth, profusion and creation. The Easter Bunny was considered to be a highly plentiful animal that was a symbol of fertility and life. The origins of the Bunny have been traced back to ancient oriental culture. Children in some countries believe that Easter Bunny brings them gifts the night before Easter.
