Have you ever wondered where this holiday - and its traditions - come from?

Easter does have its first roots into European paganism. Eastre was the goddess of spring celebrated by the Saxons around the spring equinox (in March). She was represented as a rabbit which was also a symbol of fertility. Not all countries use the Easter bunny however. In fact, in France, Italy, Greece, and many other countries, they have never heard of the Easter bunny!

While Easter was celebrated as a pagan holiday it certainly was not always a very nice holiday. In many ways, Easter has become a very commercialized holiday as is Christmas. But not for all.

For Christians, Easter means newness of life through the resurrection of Jesus Christ after he was crucified. In fact, Easter is the oldest holiday celebrated by the Christians who like to call this Holiday "Resurrection Sunday." For some Christians, Easter is preceded by a 40 day time period during which some people fast - either from food or from activities that are really likes such as TV watching.

For Christian, Easter it is what their faith is based on: Christ rising from the dead to give eternal life to all who would receive it.

A tea party is a wonderful way to celebrate this special time of the year: loved ones and food! If you are a Christian believer, you may even add a little devotional time or even a time of prayer.
