Do you know the traditions of the Germans during Easter? Officially, in North Rhein Westfalen , easter season begins right after the Carneval and that is the Ash Wednesday. From this week Supermarkets and other stores, begin to sell different things related to easter, like Egg chocolates, chocolate rabbits, Marzipan , colored eggs and other things. Eggs and rabbits signify abundancy thats why they used these things as easter symbols. Abundancy? Well, some employers gave some cash, chocolates , cards and wine. They shared their abundancy in life to others too. Some go in other countries for two weeks vacation, and some stay home. Just like in other Catholic countries, they go also to churches , make procession of the Cross, station of the Cross, wasching of the feet and other traditions of Catholics. But not only the Catholics celebrate this season, the Protestants, the Orthodox and other Christians too but they dont have traditions like the Catholics do.
Here are the gifts I received from my two generous part time jobs.Thank you very much. Happy blessed Holy Week everyone. May the passion of our Lord Jesus Christ live among us . Love, Peace, Forgiving, Unity and Sharing be upon us all regardless of our religion,beliefs ,races, color , status in life and countries. Let us Love one another as Christ love us all.
