Easter!
What is the history of Easter?
Easter has different meanings for people with different beliefs.
In old cultures in England that worshiped nature there was a festival in April for the Goddess Eostre which had hares and eggs
in it. When new people moved into the area the festival changed and became the
celebration we know now. The common idea around
Easter is new life and new beginnings.
Easter has been a custom by Religions for hundreds of years as
a festival about the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ. A number of different churches
celebrate this event because they all believe that Jesus was bought back to life and they celebrate
each year to honour and remember.
Why do we celebrate Easter?
My family celebrates Easter to celebrate the turning of the seasons
and the start of new life.
The things we do to make Easter special!
Each year we go to my grandma’s farm and have an Easter egg hunt, and find lots of goodies that have
been hidden.
Thank you for watching my show!
