During March I had Irish themed charms on my little tree, in honour of St Patrick, and they stayed up until Holy Saturday (4th April).
Easter is here now so I have taken away the old and displayed my little eggs. I've had these for quite a few years. Indeed, they were the first non-Christmassy themed decorations I had for this tree.
For Christians, eggs represent the sealed tomb of Jesus from which new life springs. In the Middle Ages eggs were forbidden during Lent so Easter eggs (of the hen variety!) would have been very welcome after the austerity of the previous weeks.
I treated myself to a small(ish) chocolate egg on Easter Sunday but I made sure I had real eggs too for breakfast.
Thank you for the reminder of the meaning behind 'real' eggs... I was trying to remember it the other day. Your tree is very pretty 🥚 🐣
ReplyDeleteThank you. I like it.
DeleteYour tree looks very festive with all the Easter eggs. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think this is the third year I've used them.
DeleteVery pretty eggs, nice not to have 'techno' colours.
ReplyDeleteThey're lovely, aren't they. I think they were from Wilko - wish they were still trading.
DeleteSuch a pretty colour of those eggs.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
They're lovely, aren't they.
