EASTER
Easter is a Christian festival and holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his crucifixion at Calvary as described in the New Testament aster is the culmination of the Passion of Christ, preceded by Lent, a forty-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance.
The last week of Lent is called Holy Week, and it contains the days of the Easter Triduum, including Maundy Thursday (also known as Holy Thursday), commemorating the Last Supper and its preceding foot washing.
EASTER BREAKFAST IN OUR COUNTRY
The end of Lent used to be celebrated in Italy with the devouring of many special Easter dishes which had been prepared throughout the previous month.
A collective ritual which involved cheesecakes and typical sweet Easter cakes all made from excessive amounts of eggs.
Today, the tradition is less dramatic but the eggy cakes still play a big part, but 'cheese cake' is still traditionally eaten for breakfast on Easter Day.
This is not the dessert cheesecake, but a bread made more savoury with the addition of local cheese. Friday, commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus.
EASTER CHOCOLATE EGGS
Easter eggs are decorated eggs that are often given to celebrate Easter or springtime. As such, Easter eggs are common during the season of Eastertide. The oldest tradition is to use dyed and painted chicken eggs, but a modern custom is to substitute chocolate eggs, or plastic eggs filled with confectionery such as jelly beans. Eggs, in general, were a traditional symbol of fertility, and rebirth.[
