Easter

Nikolay in St. Petersburg sent these  Easter postcards. 

Aren't they cute?  They came in an envelope with many other beautiful cards and stickers, the stamps were great as well.

More postcards in Beth's  " The Best Hearts are Crunchy".

Joyeuses Pâques

From Nadine
Pääsiäismunat, -puput ja -tiput kuuluvat Ranskassakin pääsiäisherkkuihin.

Pääsiäisnameihin kuuluvat myös suklaiset kirkonkellot, jotka liittyvät lapsille kerrottavaan ikivanhaan taruun: Kirkonkellot lentävät Roomaan paavin siunattaviksi ja paluureissulla ne pudottelevat lapsille pikku lahjoja. Yleensä vanhemmat kätkevät karkkeja puutarhaan, joita lapset sitten etsivät. Myös monet kunnat kunnat järjestävät pääsiäisenä namijahteja puistoihinsa 

Like in many countries, French children have Easter egg hunts on Easter morning.

Buona Pasqua

Easter in Italy it is the second most important religious holiday after Christmas. It has the same importance as Thanksgiving for Americans.

 

Buona Pasqua a tutto il mondo!

 

Happy Easter from Italy!

Frohe Ostern! Happy Easter from Vienna!

Wolfgang toivotti  Hyvää Pääsiäistä jo hyvissä ajoin  joulukuussa ja lähetti värikkään kortin

 Wienin Pääsiäismarkkinoilta  :)

Pääsiäinen on Wienissä joka vuosi tapaus, jota aletaan juhlistaa pääsiäismarkkinoin paria kolmea viikkoa ennen pääsiäisviikonloppua. Perinteinen pääsiäistori eli Altwiener Markt on Freyun-aukiolla maaliskuun puolivälistä huhtikuun alkuun. Myynnissä on kaikenlaista perinteisistä pääsiäiskoristeista suklaaseen ja elintarvikkeisiin, ja paikalla on kauppakojujen lisäksi kojuja, jotka myyvät paikan

päällä nautittavaksi tarkoitettuja ruokia ja juomia.

Altwiener Markt  - Old Viennese Easter Market at the Freyung

Situated in one of the most beautiful squares in the heart of Vienna, the Freyung, this traditional Viennese Easter Market features a blend of exquisite craftwork and special treats typical for Easter time in Vienna - supplemented by an exciting cultural program. 



Pussy willows and Easter Bunnies

Children are picking pussy willows for Easter decorations in Martta Wendelin's cards.

The flowering shoots of pussy willow are used in Finland for decoration on Easter, as a replacement for palm branches, which do not grow that far north.

Easter bunny brings children eggs and candys the night before Easter.

Martta Wendelin ( 1893-1986 )
