Today, the Easter Egg Company will take you to learn some little knowledge of Eastern culture.
Easter, also known as Pascha, is one of the traditional festivals in Western countries. Unlike Christmas and most traditional holidays, the date of Easter varies each year. The date of Easter is usually calculated according to the lunisolar calendar in Hebrew culture, which is closely related to the yearly vernal equinox. The specific calculation process is also more complicated, but it can basically be summarized as the first Sunday after the full moon of the spring equinox every year, that is, between March 22 and April 25.
In addition to changing the date each year, the duration of Easter also varies from country to country.
The period around Easter is collectively known as Eastertide
The week before Easter is called Holy Week
The Friday before Easter is called Good Friday
Some countries will call the Monday after Easter Easter Monday and set it as a public holiday
Easter eggs and the Easter bunny are essential as holiday symbols. Generally speaking, every family prepares hard-boiled eggs in advance to celebrate Easter. Some people think that the Easter egg is a symbol of new life, resurrection, and hope.
There are also more and more families painting eggs with creative patterns and shapes, which further weakens the religious color of Easter eggs.
Some families also hide Easter eggs in their rooms, or in their gardens and lawns, and let their children play the game of finding Easter eggs. This game is called Easter egg hunting.
