Happy Easter wishes if you’re celebrating, happy Sunday if you don’t celebrate Easter

Whether you’re Christian or not (or not religious at all), Easter can still be a brilliant chance for family fun and a feel-good long weekend.

Celebrations in modern Britain

In today’s multicultural Britain, many of us happily join in with our neighbours’ celebrations and religious holidays. That might mean gifts and feasting at Diwali, Iftars during Ramadan, more gifts and partying at Christmas, or even the more esoteric pagan traditions around Stonehenge at the solstices and equinoxes. We Brits love a reason to get involved and enjoy ourselves throughout the year.

None of this is meant to detract from the pious among us, for whom these dates are times of deep reflection within their religious calendars. Those beliefs deserve respect and clearly bring real spiritual value to the people who hold them.

For the rest of us, occasions like Easter are simply a good excuse to dress up, see friends and family, enjoy traditions and have a bit of fun. And that’s perfectly fine too.

Easter: meaning, messages and traditions

For Christians, Easter Sunday marks the day Christ rose from the dead three days after his crucifixion at Calvary.

For many children on Easter morning, though—far too young to grasp those bigger ideas—it’s all about hunting for chocolate eggs hidden by the Easter Bunny.

Maybe that’s part of how we help little ones associate the day with warmth, kindness and excitement. Either way, it’s an Easter message most of us can get behind: enjoy the day and share a bit of happiness.

Other popular Easter traditions include hot cross buns on Good Friday, Morris dancing, egg painting, egg rolling, roast lamb dinners, maypole dancing and Easter films. They’re great fun, and these Easter greetings really are for everyone—Christians and non-Christians alike.
