Easter greetings 2021 & interesting traditions – The Easter candle
So before you start circulating your Easter greetings for 2021, we would like to introduce you to some customs, starting with the Easter candle. Since ancient times, light has been considered a symbol of life and fire a sacred symbol. In early Christianity, the church was lit with numerous candles during the Easter service, while in Rome two meter high candles were traditional. So the symbol of fire was transferred to the candle, and the custom arose in JerusalemLight of the Easter candleto pass on to all believers.
The paschal lamb
Hardly anyone is unaware that the lamb is the classic sacrificial animal. This is already written down in the Old Testament. It symbolizes innocence and defenselessness. So Israelites sacrifice a lamb at Passover to commemorate the exodus from Egypt and Jesus is referred to as the “Lamb of God”. While lamb rarely appears on the Easter table these days, but rather is served in the form of a cake, it still remains a typical symbol, which is also accompanied by a victory flag - as a symbol of the resurrection. The dough from whichthe classic braidor the lamb is prepared also means the end of Lent. For this reason, you can also choose the Easter lamb as a motif on electronic or real Easter cards for your 2021 Easter greetings.
Admittedly,the paschal lambrarely comes to mind when you think of Easter. In contrast, the Easter Bunny is extremely popular and is automatically associated with the festival. But why? Where does the bunny come from as an Easter animal? One thing is clear: the hare does not have its origins in Christianity, but in ancient Greece and West Germania. Later, in Byzantine Christian animal symbolism, the hare became the symbol of Jesus Christ, who brings him life after his death (the hare has no eyelids and sleeps with its eyes open - Christ's wakefulness on Easter morning). The hare continues to be a symbol of the persecution of Christians. He has only been bringing eggs since the 17th century. Before that there were other animals. However, it is not known why the hare prevailed. Either way, it is an extremely popular symbol these days, which of course also accompanies some of our Easter greetings 2021.
The Easter eggs
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the egg is considered a symbol of fertility and rebirth in many ancient cultures and religions. For Christians, the egg, and more precisely the intact shell, was once again transformed into a symbol of the resurrection of Christ. That's why it was customary for the early Christians to put an egg in the grave. From the 10th century onwards, Egyptian Christians made it a tradition to give each other eggs dyed red, with the red color symbolizing the blood of Jesus. In some regions, the first egg is still painted red today. But otherwise the Easter eggs are there nowfor your colorful colorsand any other decorations known. So it's no wonder that with all this popularity, the eggs also adorn our electronic cards with Easter greetings 2021.
Easter laughter
Until the 19th century, it was common for the priest to occasionally tell funny anecdotes during the Easter liturgy. The aim was to make the believers present laugh and in this way to express the joy of Jesus' resurrection - Christ has overcome death! However, Protestants later criticized this custom because obscene actions and words were used for this purpose in the late Middle Ages. You have tooa few laughsnecessary? Then below you will find Easter greetings 2021 that are funny and make you smile.
The Easter water
Water has always been a symbol of life and fertility. In Christianity it therefore became, among other things, a symbol of Easter. One custom was to fetch water from a nearby stream between midnight and sunrise on Easter Saturday and Sunday and carry it home in silence. This water should then have a very special effect. It should protect against eye problems and rashes and even cure illnesses throughout the next year. With Easter waterbaptized childrenshould in turn become particularly intelligent.
