Spring Flowers for Easter and Your Home
Easter has been described as the moveable feast because it doesn’t fall on a set date every year, rather it’s observed anywhere between March 22 and April 25 every year.
Easter, is also Christianity’s most important holiday celebrated in the West on the first Sunday following the full moon after the vernal equinox on March 21. The most simplified explanation of a vernal equinox is an astroligical event that occurs when the sun is directly above the equator.
Beyond the astrological significance Easter has many symbols and traditions that have been celebrated for hundreds of years. Common themes of Easter include rabbits, eggs & baby chicks, because, in Pagan times, they were signs of fertility and new life.
Lots of Flowers are associated with spring and Easter. White Lilies are popular Easter flowers because they represent a sign of Purity and Goodness. Tulips are a very popular spring flower, that come in a range of colors: pink, purple, red, yellow and orange.
