Easter

[onlyanimalsaregood]

Does anyone here celebrate Easter in your country? Are you going to celebrate or not? If yes, how will you celebrate it?
Mine will be spent at home with my cat, probably eating chocolate.

I will be celebrate with my mom we will make two types of salad. One will be with grapes almond and chicken. Other one is my favorite it is like kebab. We will have something like pound cake but more delicate in consistence and our regional cake called mazurek. It is very crispy cake filled with chocolate and dried fruits and nuts. Version with white chocolate is our favorite. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazurek_(cake)

I don't really celebrate anything, it will just be another day for me. Everyday is the same, very miserable and depressing.

 

[Hans Voralberg]

For us it is not strictly celebration as we don't practise as catcholics anymore. We sufferd too much pain in life to believe in resurection after death and any religion in general.

Fly to Israel, when that Jesus motherfucker rises from the dead, I'm gonna stake him in the heart.

Jesus had good Intenations and very intresting philosophy of acceptance and forgivness for everyone. This man would probably hugged us all and try to make our life bearable. He was a good man. If you want blame a deity blame his father. Old testament god is truly a monster to some extent. I don't want religious war it is just my observation

Sorry to hear that :/

Yes I'm not a religious person either. I'm atheist. I just like the fact that the family gets together and I like the food and the chocolates xD But I'll spend alone.

The most I do to celebrate Easter is usually just go to the grocery store to buy some Peeps. I love that sort of unhealthy sugar.

Also if there's an Easter then when is Wester?

I lived in Madeira for a while.
I miss it. In the Netherlands we dress up as Easter bunny and eat chocolate eggs all day long lol.

Two days after Easter, when I send Zombie Jesus back to where he came from.

Ahah what is "Peeps"? We don't have it here. But I love sugar too xD
Good question

They're basically big marshmallows covered in glittery sugar. Unhealthy? Yes. Horrifying? Also yes. I enjoy eating them whole and pretending they're real live baby chicks.

why?.. he was kinda cool and suffered so much that he preferred to go to heaven to his abusive father… (i'm NOT religious)

 

[onlyanimalsaregood]

Ik mis het. In Nederland verkleden we ons als paashaas en eten we de hele dag chocolade eitjes lol.

Ahaha they look yummy It is interesting to see how different cultures celebrate Easter.

 

[houseofleaves]

In Russia, we boil eggs with red onion skin so the eggs become red too. This symbolises JESUS'S BLOOD. Yummy.

It is original I had a Moldavian ex-boyfriend and a Russian mother-in-law, so I have tasted some of your dishes and they are very unique and healthy. My favorite dish was Shuba. I always thought it was funny to look like a cake but to be a salad.

All fun beggins with scratching patterns on the egg with the neddle for example. My grandmother had ester eggs with beautifull patterns that were made nearly 30 years ago. The were conserved by drying.

Beautiful And they really do last a long time. It's good to keep as a souvenir.

If there were any British traditions at Easter they've all been eclipsed by just buying chocolate. Maybe Morris dancing or something. I'll visit my parents but there'll be no religious observance.

 

[Hans Voralberg]

Scratching patterns on eggs is tradition. Preserving them by drying i don't know. There is also a technique where you pour wax on egg in form of pattern and then colour egg in place covered by wax there will be white pattern

So in the UK you don't celebrate Easter much? It's always good to visit family :)

Maybe I'm just cynical - easter eggs have been in stores since the 1st of January. Its the only time of year you can buy Cadbury Creme Eggs. We do get two public holidays so there's a four-day weekend, which is nice.
