Hello again from “Regal Roslyn”.

Yes it is only a few months ago that I was the setter, but no-one was prepared to accept gen2’s challenge so I’m afraid you are stuck with me again!!

I hope you are all enjoying the Easter Weekend and don’t overdo the “eggs” tomorrow! We all know the Christian Story of Easter but what about all the traditions that have emerged through time? How did Easter get its name? One belief is that Easter got its name from the Goddess of Spring called Eostre who some people worshipped long before Jesus was born. At that time it was thought that the sun died in Winter and was born again in Spring when days would lengthen and the sun’s power would return. In Europe, Eostre was the bringer of Spring.

Easter Day is always on a Sun, but the date varies from year to year. Many years ago Christians decided that Easter Day should always be on the Sun following the first full moon after the first day of Spring on Mar 21st. This means that Easter can be as early as March 22nd or as late as April 25th.That’s why it’s called a “moveable feast”. Easter can even happen on different dates depending on where in the world you live. In Eastern Orthodox churches the date will be next weekend. That’s because we use the Gregorian calendar whereas the east use the Julian one.

The custom of giving eggs at Easter celebrates new life. For Christians the egg is a symbol of the resurrection, as when they are cracked open they stand for the empty tomb. In some countries parents tell their children the Easter Hare or Bunny has hidden chocolate eggs and they race to find them round the house or garden. Rabbits have been associated with springtime since ancient times. It is believed that the hare was Eostre’s sacred animal. Rabbits being similar, Christians changed the symbol to the Easter Bunny.
