Early morning fog, after Easter Vigil at Waldsassen Abbey, Bavaria, Germany. Morgennebel nach der Osternacht in Abtei Waldsassen, Bayern
Took this photo in our yard after we colored Easter Eggs.
I was hoping to make it look like these flowering plants were growing Easter Eggs. These eggs did not fit very well inside the leaves of these plants. The eggs kept rolling off the plants because they were so heavy.

I was stumped for an Easter photo this year until I spotted the girls playing in the candy dish. They were good, they didn't eat much candy (the Olympics are coming up). I, on the other hand, must have eaten 6 of these while taking the photo :-) Those Cadbury mini eggs are addicting :-)
Happy Easter to all my Flickr friends! :-)
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.

The traditional Easter Simnel cake is a rich fruitcake with a layer of marzipan baked in the centre. The remaining marzipan is used to decorate the cake, along with seasonal flowers from the garden.
TRIPLER ARMY MEDICAL CENTER, Hawaii -- Children were in for a treat at the annual Easter Eggstravaganza held at the track, here, March 31, 2012. Families participated in races, games; decorated cookies; ran and played in jump houses; hunted for Easter eggs; and even had a chance to meet the Easter Bunny.
A common myth about Easter Island, or Rapa Nui as natives call it, is that the island experienced societal collapse due to cutting down the trees for statue building, causing an ecological disaster. This is only half the story. While the native Rapa Nui people did cut down the trees, it was to pave the way for agriculture when they first settled the island in the 13th century. The statues themselves were moved using ropes which made it look like they "walked". The islanders lived in relative peace and isolation away from the affairs of the world, until it came to their shores.
The downfall of Easter Island came when it was first discovered by the Dutch in 1722. First contact between the Dutch and Rapa Nui took a violent turn due to the anxieties of the Dutch when dealing with the natives. After this encounter, the Dutch left the island, but they left behind European diseases. The isolated islanders had no natural immunity to diseases like smallpox and many were wiped out. A Spanish expedition in 1770 brought a second wave of disease to the natives. The islanders lost faith in their ancestors who were supposed to protect them and began tearing down their statues. When James Cook arrived in 1774, he saw a demoralized people who feared outsiders.
For the next century, the island was the victim of rapacious slave raids with the worst one happening in 1862 by Peruvian slave raiders. This raid saw the capture of 1500 people, or half the islands population. This was met with international outrage, and they were released in 1863. Unfortunately, it was too late for a majority of the islanders, including the islands elders who understood the undeciphered rongorongo language. The island was soon annexed by Chile in 1888, fearing the possibility of the British or French annexing it. Much of the island was then turned into a sheep farm run by the Williamson-Balfour company. The natives that were left were forced to live in the town of Hanga Roa and work on the farm to make a living.
Happy Easter !

Spotkałem je jak dziś,
Na stole szkło, w pokoju dym:
Nadzieja, Wiara i …
Miłości cień – moje siostry trzy.
Bez wiary tamte dwie,
A Wiara bez nadziei krzty,
I wtedy jakiś głos,
Wewnętrzny głos podpowiedział mi:
Opiekuj się
Wiarą swą,
Nadzieję przytul,
Bo masz tylko ją,
I wiedz,
Że Miłość kocha Cię.
Siedziały smutne tak,
Tak jakby tu nie było ich.
Nadzieja, Wiara i …
Ta miłość, co chciała wstać i wyjść.
Niechciane siostry trzy,
Bo w życiu wciąż dla nich czasu brak.
I pomyślałem, czy
Czy tylko ja, tylko ja tak mam?
Opiekuj się
Wiarą swą,
Nadzieję przytul,
Bo masz tylko ją,

Easter Lily - Lilium longiflorum
An Easter Lily lends its fragrance and gentle beauty to the room in which it resides. Pollen clings to the stamen.
(90/365) An "Easter Cactus" bloom. Of course these are not cactuses, but succulents, and the name stems from their blooming around Easter time. This is actually the last surviving flower on this plant, for this year.
I know, it is no longer easter but I am still hunting for eggs because "somebunny" decided to go rogue and hide the eggs in nature.
This is the same egg as in the other photo- the use of different surroundings changes the look surprisingly!
I have collected eggs for a LONG time! Imagine my delight when a very dear friend gifted me with quite a few gorgeous hand-painted eggs! I love each and every one! Thank you, my darling!
And sorry to everyone I may have bored out here! I cannot seem to do anything at a normal or sedate pace! I almost didn't post for Easter, but now I am racing and flooding Flickr with Easter eggs! It IS so much fun to share, though!
Hope everyone has had a safe and Happy Easter for 2025!
Many Orthodox churches base their Easter date on the Julian calendar, which often differs from the Gregorian calendar that is used by many western countries. Therefore the Orthodox Easter period often occurs later than the Easter period that falls around the time of the March equinox.
Countries that officially observe the Orthodox Easter period include: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, Lebanon, Republic of Macedonia, Romania, Russia, and Ukraine. There are no federal Orthodox Easter public holidays in countries such as Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. However, it is a time for families and friends of the Orthodox Christian faith to gather together and to celebrate the Orthodox Easter period.
Easter is not a federal holiday in Jordan, although many Orthodox Christians are pushing to make it an official holiday. There have been petitions calling for the government in Jordan to make Easter an official public holiday. Jordan has a population of about six million people, and about six percent consists of Christians while about 92 percent consists of people of the Sunni Muslim faith.
In Lebanon – a country with a population of nearly 60 percent being Muslim and about 39 percent being Christian – Easter Sunday and Good Friday are public holidays.
