what do you do for easter!?

Answer 1

I cook easter dinner for my whole family. And then I hide the easter eggs for the kids to find. They always have so much fun.

Answer 2

We go to church - not because we are Christians - but because Easter lands on a Sunday. There is usually an Easter Egg hunt at church.

Then we do our own hunt. We used to do this early in the morning - but since our kid is older now we do it in the afternoon. She starts off with a clue (all of the clues are little poems that rhymn) - and she has to find the first egg. The eggs are all plastic. Green Blue Purple Pink Orange and Yellow. Each egg has a clue that leads her to the next egg - and after she's found the last egg it has a clue as to where to find her Easter Basket. She's 11 now - and every year the clues have gotten harder and harder. The first year she was 4 and the clues were really simple like: Soap and washclothe Rub a dub dub. If you want to find the orange egg, go look in the ___________. But now - she's 11 - and last year she even had to do some algebra to figure out one of the clues.

We also color eggs before Easter - and we used to hide those too - but not anymore. Now we just color them and on Easter we eat them - and make egg salad.

When I was a kid - my family always had a huge dinner - which included ham with pineapple on top of it. But I'm a vegetarian now - so that doesn't work.

Answer 3

Spring break orgies tend to celebrate this pagan tradition more accurately.

The Encyclopædia Britannica comments: “There is no indication of the observance of the Easter festival in the New Testament, or in the writings of the apostolic Fathers. The sanctity of special times was an idea absent from the minds of the first Christians.”—(1910), Vol. VIII, p. 828.

The Catholic Encyclopedia tells us: “A great many pagan customs, celebrating the return of spring, gravitated to Easter. The egg is the emblem of the germinating life of early spring. . . . The rabbit is a pagan symbol and has always been an emblem of fertility.”—(1913), Vol. V, p. 227.

In the book The Two Babylons, by Alexander Hislop, we read: “What means the term Easter itself? It is not a Christian name. It bears its Chaldean origin on its very forehead. Easter is nothing else than Astarte, one of the titles of Beltis, the queen of heaven, whose name, . . . as found by Layard on the Assyrian monuments, is Ishtar. . . . Such is the history of Easter. The popular observances that still attend the period of its celebration amply confirm the testimony of history as to its Babylonian character. The hot cross buns of Good Friday, and the dyed eggs of Pasch or Easter Sunday, figured in the Chaldean rites just as they do now.”—(New York, 1943), pp. 103, 107, 108; compare Jeremiah 7:18.

I spend the day with my family, we cook a delicious meal, hide eggs, eat Easter candy and play games. I still make a Easter Basket for my son and his wife even though they are grown.

Answer 6

My mom celebrates regular Easter... sort of. All she does is make baskets, and put them next to our bed so that when we wake up, we get an Easter basket. But with my dad, we celebrate Greek Easter (he's Greek). We got to my older sister's house, have some people over... like Greeks, and we BBQ lamb... a whole lamb.
