One of the most famous moai buried on the outer slopes of the volcano Rano Raraku - Easter Island, Chile
The mystery Easter Island - Rapa Nui, the Polynesian name - is a small volcanic island in the South Pacific Ocean and one of the most isolated places on earth.
Easter Island bears witness to a unique cultural phenomenon. From the 10th to the 16th century, a society of Polynesian origin that settled there c. A.D. 300, built shrines and erected enormous stone figures known as moai , which created an unrivalled cultural landscape that continues to fascinate people throughout the world.
Volcano Rano Raraku is the great quarry where virtually all moai statues were made.
Most of the 900 moai in the island come from the slopes of the Rano Raraku volcano. Today, the visitors who walk through the external and internal slopes of the Rano Raraku can contemplate several tens of these impressive statues, most of them with their body buried.

The combination of a calm Sound of Sleat and gentle light caught my eye on a trip to the west coast of Scotland earlier today.
The distant island is the Isle of Eigg which seemed fitting for today, Happy Easter everyone.
I had to take this picture quickly because by this time tomorrow this Easter bunny will be missing his ears. At least his ears. Everyone knows that's what you eat first . . . Happy Easter weekend everyone.
Happy Easter ...

My Easter bunnies have arrived & are hiding in the forget-me-nots & bluebells in my garden!
They are precious keepsakes as they were both Easter gifts from my dad many years ago (but freshly painted again ready for summer).

Happy Easter!
Eggs, in general, were a traditional symbol of fertility and rebirth in different faiths and religions.
In the case of Mesopotamia, the Easter egg comes from the fertility Goddess Ishtar, (Astarte, Ashera, Astaroth, Inanna), worshiped by the Babylonians, Assyrians, Phoenicians, Canaanites...
Ishtar is the origin of the name given in English to the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus on the third day, a celebration that is called Easter and in German, Ostern.
Between the 9th and 18th centuries, the Church prohibited the consumption of eggs during Lent, considering it equivalent to meat, and for this reason people cooked and painted them to differentiate them from frescoes and to be able to consume them on Easter Day.
Over time, these traditions were incorporated into the Easter festivity and today the Easter egg is a universal symbol.
For many, the egg resembles the resurrection as a symbol of new life.
Commerce and modernity, for their part, have been in charge of incorporating chocolate eggs, and plastic eggs to be filled with sweets, and which according to legend are hidden by the Easter rabbit for children to look for. and therefore, find them and eat them. (Source: Wikipedia)
HUEVOS DE PASCUA, 2023
¡Feliz Pascua de Resurrección!
Los huevos, en general, eran un símbolo tradicional de fertilidad y renacimiento en diferentes credos y religiones.
En el caso de Mesopotamia el huevo de Pascua viene de la Diosa de la fertilidad Ishtar, (Astarté, Asera, Astaroth, Inanna), adorada por los babilonios, asirios, fenicios, cananeos...
Ishtar es el origen del nombre que se da en idioma inglés a la celebración de la Resurrección de Jesús al tercer día, celebración a la que llaman Easter y en alemán, Ostern.
Entre los siglos IX y XVIII, la Iglesia prohibió el consumo de huevos durante la Cuaresma, considerándolos equivalentes a la carne, por lo que se cocinaban y pintaban para diferenciarlos de los frescos y poder consumirlos el día de Pascua.
Con el tiempo, estas tradiciones se incorporaron a la festividad de la Semana Santa y hoy en día el huevo de Pascua es un símbolo universal.
Para muchos, el huevo se asemeja a la resurrección como símbolo de una nueva vida.
El comercio y la modernidad, por su parte, se han encargado de incorporar los huevos de chocolate, y los huevos de plástico para rellenar con dulces, y que según la leyenda son escondidos por el conejo de Pascua para que los niños los busquen y por lo tanto, encontrarlos y comerlos.
