Easter

I have been reliably told that the origin of the hot cross bun was that a monk from St Albans Abbey in England made the first hot cross bun s in 1361. The cross was originally just cut in, not piped on & the relevance is obvious. The spices represent the frankincense & myrrh. The fruit represents of the fruit of the Holy Spirit.

People celebrate Easter, not countries. Easter is the highest holy day of the Christian calendar, celebrating the Resurrection of Christ, upon which the Christian religion is based. All Christians celebrate Easter, albeit calling it different names and calculating its date differently. Local celebrations have often incorporated the traditions of preceding or neighboring religions, especially those related to spring and the vernal equinox. Thus local traditions vary greatly.

This is the historic agreement in the Northern Ireland peace process that was signed between the British and Irish governments on 10 April 1998 - which happened to be Good Friday that year.

Crazy as it sounds not in as many words. Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the Bunny Trail- Hippety-Hoppety =- Easter"s on its way- and it does not directly use the phrase Easter Bunny- is the only one I can think of. Merrily We Roll along- with that Bloom effect Steel Guitar- the Warner Brothers basic theme song, is not remotely about Easter. Good luck.

I think its to symbolise the moving of the stone to the cave Jesus was in. An egg symbolises new life (like when the chick breaks from the egg) and Jesus did rise on this day and came back to life.

Celebrations take place all over Portugal. Thousands of pilgrims travel to Bragg, home of the Portuguese Archbishop, during Holy Week and a series of nocturnal processions take place.

Because...They are YUMMY! and have absolutely nothing to do with the Christian Holiday. They are simply the opportunist marketing of a tasty confection that enables candy makers to make huge amounts of money. Same thing at Christmas, Halloween, Valentine's Day, etc. To my knowledge, jesus never actually enjoyed any of the delicious confections since cacao or chocolate had not been imported into the rest of the world from the Mayans or Aztecs of Mexico. An even more interesting question, though, is why we associate a basket of eggs with a rabbit. Rabbits are mammals. Eggs belong to birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects...etc.

Modern celebrations of "holidays" typically have little or no relationship to their original ancestors. They are simply modern, commercial, fun, arguably ridiculous "traditions" designed to increase sales. Except for a select few, they are hardly religious events.

It made a great contribution to the cause of Irish indepedence because of the stupidity of the British. The rising itself was not that successful, it didn't have the support of the populace (who initially booed the rebels)and the firepower of the British gave them a sure victory. However, their brutal reaction - 64 rebels and 300 civilians were killed in the action and then they executed 15 rebels by firing squad. Including one, James Connolly, who had already been shot and who was carried out and tied to a chair to be executed. Within days the country was in uproar and independence was in the forefront of everybody's mind. In short it resulted in what eventually became the Repubic of Ireland being an independent nation, the creation of Northern Ireland and changing the components of the United Kingdom.

The southern states have gone by a few different names during the history of the United States. Sometimes they are referred to as the American South, Dixie, or just the south. They were also called the confederate states at one point.
