Easter

Easter is one of the most heartfelt festivities of the year and has always been linked to the concept of rebirth. Easter, a word of Germanic origin and related to German Ostern and east; perhaps from Ēastre, the name of a goddess associated with spring. For the Jews, it represents the Red Sea crossing and the end of the slavery in Egypt. For Christians, it is the celebration of Christ's resurrection. Instead, in pre-Christian history during the current Easter period, the spring goddess Ostara (*Oster in Germanic, hence the name of Esther) was celebrated together with the new harvest. Easter's exact date varies every year because it depends on the moon. The festivity is set to coincide with the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon, the first full moon of spring. Spring marks the end of the winter greyness and the awakening of nature and the colours that characterize it. At Easter, it is traditional to give the typical chocolate eggs to your loved ones, even artisanal ones, with the possibility to customise the surprise especially designed for them.
