There are many symbols of Easter - The Cross, The Resurrection...Springtime! It's beautiful, brightly colored tulips and daffodils, gorgeous white lilies and the smell of hyacinths. It's fun things like egg hunts, Easter baskets, chocolate bunnies and jelly beans... Many American families gather together to worship, then celebrate the Springtime holiday with a festive Easter dinner.
