| Title | Website: German Easter traditions with links to other holidays |
| Body | Quoted From: http://german.about.com/library/blbraeuche_ostern.htm Easter in German Europe The Germanic celebration of Easter (Ostern in German) is very much like that in most of the Christian world. It features the same fertility and spring-related iconseggs, bunnies, flowersand many of the same Easter customs. The three major German-speaking countries (Austria, Germany and Switzerland) are predominantly Christian and Easter is an important time for both Catholics and Protestants in the German-speaking lands. The art of decorating hollowed-out eggs (ausgeblasene Eier) for Easter is an Austrian and German tradition. Also of interest, perhaps is the Osterlexikon at: http://german.about.com/library/blostervoc.htm |
