Easter Celebrations

Spring flowers, birds, baby animals, Easter bunnies, chocolate eggs and young lambs, that means Easter is back again.

Easter is an special occasion to celebrate resurrection of Jesus Christ. These most important religious celebrations are being spent with families and close friends. People usually wear new clothes on Easter Sunday. Some young girls wear green hair ribbons, yellow dress, and white shoes. Others may pin little crosses made of green, yellow and white ribbons on their right sleeves. These colors and new clothes signify purity and a new start to life.

Some people would strictly follow the traditions and 40 days before Easter on Ash Wednesday they will quit something they cherish. It can be cigarettes, alcohol or some favourite food.

To list all Easter celebrations and beliefs would be very long, but let's have a look at some of the most traditional ones.

1. Spring cleaning of the house on Good Friday
2. Attending confessions and asking for forgiveness on Good Friday
3. Shopping for new clothes and getting a new haircut on Good FridayVisiting holy wells and graveyards on Good Friday

5. Attending a special mass on Easter Sunday
6. Having a traditional meal of roast meat with stuffing, potatoes and vegetables

If you are having a family get together in your place, surprise them with Easter decorations and summer tableware, buy chocolate eggs for each child and maybe for adults too, to add some fun and don't forget to get some Easter baskets too.

St. Patrick's Day Ideas

St. Patrick's Day celebrations are always big and it doesn'tmatter, if you are staying at home or heading to the streets. We have some tips for you!

If you wish to stay at home in the family circle, you could get some green table covers or even better, table covers with spring clovers on them. Add some extra plastic tumblers, green paper plates, St. Patrick's Day napkins and make your favourite food. If you are the lucky one and have garden, you could put some hanging decorations outside such as lantern garlands or
hanging swirls. According to weather forecast it will be nice and sunny day.

We believe you will go and see the fantastic parade in your town or head up to some of the bigger towns. All the streets will be covered in green with most people wearing green hats, tiaras, head boppers and some of them will also have face paints all over their faces. So get yourself something green and lucky for a day to go with the crowd. If you wish to have something
