5 Beautiful Easter Traditions & Their Meanings

Easter Egg Decoration

Can Easter be celebrated without Easter eggs? Eggs represent the new life and resurrection of Jesus Christ and are an indispensable part of this Christian holiday. Include dying or painting eggs in your celebration — it will be a fun activity for your kids. You can also take your kids for an entertaining egg hunt with Green Gables. 

Open Easter Baskets

We bet opening Easter baskets on the warm morning of Easter is your kids’ favorite Easter tradition. While fun, it has deep significance too — it symbolizes the tomb of Jesus, which was empty on Easter morning. You can get beautiful Easter basket arrangements at Suntree Florist & Gifts.

Wear Easter Bonnets

You must have seen kids and adults wearing fancy hats as Christian head covering on Easter. It’s Easter Bonnets! Signifying the celebration of triumph over death, these bonnets are now also a fashion statement.

The Lavish Easter Brunch

No Easter celebration is complete without a scrumptious spread of Easter brunch. Gathering with your family and friends to enjoy each other’s company while sharing delicious meals is one of the most wholesome Easter traditions. 

If you don’t wish to cook brunch at home, The Dove III, The Mansion, and the Charthouse Restaurant serve special Easter brunch menus. You can also pair the brunch with soothing live blues music at Easter Brunch Buffet w/ Josh Miller Blues Revue.

Devour an Easter Cake

Indulging in an appetizing Easter cake is a must for this Christian holiday. Whether you wish to go the traditional way and savor up a Carrot cake or want to gorge on a cheesecake or bundt cake, Easter is the perfect excuse.

Check out Merri Cakes - Merritt Island and Caketastic Bakery if you don’t want to whip up the batter at home.
