The Easter

Easter is an annual religious holiday of spring with different

meanings, found in Judaism and Christianity. The Passover (Jewish
Easter) is a religious holiday celebrated by the Jews in memory of
their deliverance from Egyptian slavery and their departure from
Egypt (Exodus), under the leadership of Moses.
Pagans celebrate the resurrection of nature and the beginning of
a new cycle of nature, while Christians celebrate the resurrection of
the Lord after His sacrifice for the good of men. Regardless of
religion, all people celebrate something in early spring. As the Son of
God, born of the Virgin Mary, He also became the son of the human
race and made the supreme sacrifice.
Jesus sacrificed Himself to atone for the ancestral sin of men.
The whole feast begins with Flower Sunday, when Jesus enters
Jerusalem, being received with cheers and palm/olive branches by the
faithful. The feast of the Passover was instituted by the Savior at the
Last Supper.
Romanian customs and traditions are represented by the
sacrifice of the Passover lamb which represents the Savior's sacrifice
as well as nourishment for men which nowadays includes sponge
cake; and egg painting, which is a traditional world custom for the
whole of Christianity.
