Easter and its religious history

When the Prophet Moses lead the Exodus of the Jewish People our of Egypt, he commemorated his hardly-fought freedom through the sacrificial lamb. Since then the Jewish celebration of Easter, Passover, is celebrated with lamb. In the Christian tradition, Easter marks the culmination of the Holy Week. It celebrates Jesus Christ’s resurrection and is celebrated with much joy. It also marks the end of Lent and is the occasion for a feast after 40 days of restrictions. But where do modern Easter traditions come from ?

The egg, a pagan tradition

For a lot of Pagan traditions, the egg was a symbol of life and fertility. Romans for instance used to celebrate Spring by offering eggs to each other. Throughout the Middle Ages, it became forbidden to eat eggs during Lent, so they were kept as decorations for the Easter festivities. In the 18th century it became customary to empty eggs and fill them up with chocolate. It was the start of a new tradition.

Tales and stories for children

Throughout the 19th century, Easter eggs became more and more popular, but its religious symbolisms were never forgotten. To commemorate Jesus Christ’s death, it is customary for church’s bells to remain silent bewteen Holy Thursday and Easter Sunday. A legend tells of church bells leaving for Rome to get the Pope’s blessing and bringing back cholocates as gifts for good children upon their return.

A tradition for the child in everyone

Easter eggs and chocolates are not just for children, adults too love delicacies and gourmet confectionary. Aquarelle has curated a collection of delicious spring-like sweets, such as painted eggs, chocolates filles with fondant caramel or praline rochers… The most special in the collection, the Arc-en-ciel, combines a colourful bouquet of fresh roses in its vase with a lovely selection of painted eggs.
