Evolution of Easter day Surprises

in blurt-168824 •  9 months ago 

All the cultures of the world are full of symbolism that, with the passage of time, become traditions handed down from generation to generation.

Time and the adoption of these traditions in places different from those where they originated, make these traditions present nuances that make them evolve, and Easter day is not exempt from this.

Ancient civilizations based their rites and festivals on the lunar calendar. This lunar calendar contains stages that are fundamental to man, such as the solstices and equinoxes. These are stages throughout the year related to the incidence of the sun's rays on the planet Earth thanks to its translation and rotational movements that mark the climatic seasons of the year, an indispensable tool for the basic survival activities of populations such as the appropriate periods to sow, cultivate and store for times of scarcity.

Eggs are a symbol of fertility, life and renewal in many cultures. Renewal is the inevitable consequence of the passage of time, of the beginning of each cycle.

While it is true that the custom of giving eggs decorated with beautiful colors has been recorded since ancient times in Asian, Egyptian, Persian, Slavic and Germanic cultures, it was a custom that coincided with the beginning of spring and Christian Easter.

A significant percentage of the population has adopted giving Easter eggs as a gift every Easter Sunday. These eggs are far from traditional. They are chocolate eggs, often hollowed out, with a small toy inside, making them the delight of children.

Hiding Easter eggs in the garden, collecting them, eating the delicious chocolate and finding a nice surprise inside becomes a family activity, preserving the basis of this custom, which is to give happiness to others at the beginning of a new cycle (spring). After all, giving is closely related to receiving.

What do you really want to receive?
Well, the background is to reap what you sow: kindness, good wishes, generosity, unity, hope.

The evolution of Easter Day is a dynamic process. In some parts of the world, in addition to decorated Easter eggs, cookies decorated with the mythical figure of the Easter Bunny are made in order to involve children and adults in the joy of giving. Cookies are also made in the shape of decorated eggs and even carrot cakes decorated with some eggs on top as a way of reinterpreting this tradition.

Customs certainly evolve, but the background is never lost.
Happy Easter!
