Easter(s)

29 April 2021

We all know about the egg hunts and chocolate bunnies that Easter brings, but did you know that pretzels used to be considered the ultimate Easter treat? Or that the Easter bunny first made his appearance in a German folk tale in the 16th century? This millennia-old celebration is full of surprises.

You probably celebrate Easter once a year, April 4th this time, but there are actually two Easter dates, the Catholic and the Orthodox. The latter falls on May 2nd, giving you plenty of time to restock on the chocolate and painted eggs to celebrate a second Easter!
