Easter in England – How People Celebrate, Enjoy and Rejoice

The festival of Eastertide is celebrated all the way through England with great spiritual enthusiasm. While Christmas is rejoiced in vibrant and colorful ways, Easter in England is considered as more of a quiet, calm and religious celebration that represents all devout rituals as jubilant ones. Read the rest part of the blog to know more about how people of England celebrate, enjoy and rejoice this amazing occasion.



Eastertide in Urban Area

In urban England, the festivity of the Resurrection Day or Eastertide majorly revolves around the churches and cathedrals. Typically, the remembrance of Easter in England starts one week prior to the ‘Palm Sunday’. According to the myth, it is the day when Jesus Christ arrived in Jerusalem. It is also said that a carpet of Palm leaves was laid down and the branches of Palm were waved that day in order to welcome Him to the town. However, the same thing is still followed during the parades of Eastertide. Those who take part in these parades need to carry branches of Palm with them.In addition, all the churches as well as cathedrals of the city are decorated beautifully with lots of Palm leaves. Another great attraction of the festivity of Eastertide is ‘Morris Dance’. Professional troupes of male performers with an objective to warn off everything evil and sinful of the wintertime stage it.

Easter tide in Rural Area

On the other hand, rural areas or country sides in England celebrate the festival in more vivacious ways. People participate in a large number of activities including egg hunts, pancake race, etc. which are basically based on the theme of Easter tide. There are certain bakeries in the city that offer fresh and delicious food items to the well-mannered kids. All the churches are embellished with lively flowers. 



Briefly, the customary rituals of England depict a smooth combination of spiritual beliefs as well as fun activities that are very much appealing to the people of all ages.
