Hello and Welcome To Cutest Easter Bells Ever!

Hi and thank you for visiting my lens.

As you know, on Easter weekend, Christians (Catholics, Orthodox, Protestants, Anglicans, Baptists...) celebrate the crucifixion and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

But you probably don't know that every country does not have the same Easter symbols.

Here you will learn everything you need to know about the Easter symbols:


  • The Easter Bells

  • The Easter Eggs and Marzipan Fruits

  • The Easter Bunny

  • The Easter Chicken

  • The Easter Lamb

  • The Easter Lily

  • The Easter Water

  • The Easter Cross

The date of Christian Easter is as follows: according to the Gregorian calendar, we celebrate Easter on the first Sunday after the full moon that follows the spring equinox.

However, there is an exception: since the Orthodox church still refers to the Julian calendar, Orthodox Easter happens 13 days after ours.

And so, this year Easter will be on March 23rd.

(Easter is March 23, 2008)

The Easter Bells 

In some European countries, bells are the main Easter symbols.

Here is their history:

In the ancient times, the bells were ringing every day of the year to invite people to attend the mass, to celebrate the birth of a prince, or for any other public event.

On Good Friday, bells leave our countries and fly to Rome where they'll be blessed by the pope. They will come back the night of Easter Sunday, bringing eggs that they will distribute to our people.

During Good Friday till Saturday at midnight, bells don't ring any more... But on Easter Sunday, they ring to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.

Eassential Easter Chocolates 

My favorite chocolates are... Belgian!

Instead of purchasing Godiva, Neuhaus, Jacques or any else chocolate, I only buy Cote d'Or and Leonidas chocolates as they are the ones that have this strong chocolate taste.

When you buy chocolate, ensure you that it's made out of cocoa butter and not... margarine as if it's the case, that is NOT chocolate any more!

Bon appetit ;-)

The Easter Eggs 

The use of eggs in celebration existed long before our modern day observance.

In ancient Egypt and Persia, people were used to dye eggs in the colors of the spring and gave them to their relatives to symbolize the renewal of life.

Today, eggs are decorated on Easter and hidden for children to find.

The Easter Bunny 

The hare symbolizes abundance, proliferation and renewal.

He was regarded as an animal very prolific, especially in the spring.

In the ancient times, he was already a symbol of life and fertility.

In the XVth century, the hare and the rabbit were associated to Easter for the first time in the German communities

The Easter Chicken 

Where do the eggs come from?

Yes, you're right, they come from the chicken... so, as the chicken gives its eggs (decorated or not) to our children at Easter, it's an essential Easter symbol.

The Easter chicken is popular in many countries even if it originated from Austria.

Depending of the country, the Easter chicken can be a chick, a cock, a stork, a cuckoo, etc.

The Easter Lamb 

In the New Testament, there is a parallel between Jesus' death and the paschal lamb giving his life in sacrifice.

Jesus is the messiah who leads his people, the sheep of God. The lamb represents purity, innocence, justice.

And so, it's a custom in many Christian countries to eat lamb on the day of Easter.

Personally, I prepare a leg of lamb with garlic, green peas and gratin dauphinois.

The Easter Lily 

This beautiful flower is native to an island near Japan.

There is a legend that says:

At the time Jesus went to a place, all the flowers, plants and animals bowed to his passage, except the lilies: they were too proud.

But when the lilies saw Jesus on the cross, their head bent and since that day, they continue to bend their head as a sign of respect.

Your turn: Am I right?

The Easter Water 

It is an old, old, old custom that tends to disappear...

Early in the morning on the day of Jesus' resurrection and before the sun rises, we went to the river to take water.

This water was used to bless the house, what was being done with a branch that we received at the church on the Sunday before Easter Sunday.
