Two special religious observances in March are Palm Sunday (March 24th) and Easter Sunday (March 31st). Our blog post this week covers the religious meaning, traditional celebrations, and Easter gift and décor ideas for this spring season.
Religious Connections
Both observances involve remember the sacrifices of Jesus Christ, including his ministry and appearing on a donkey that walked across a road filled with palm fronds, as well as Holy Week, which included his death on the cross.
Easter Sunday completes the cycle of remembrance with a celebration of his resurrection, which serves as a reminder of how he has redeemed humans from their sins and saved believers.
Spring Celebrations
Typically, those that celebrate these two holidays do so in church and in mass. They also spend time reflecting on the importance of these celebrations with friends and family as well as enjoying an Easter feast.
This is a great time to get the children dressed up in their Sunday finest, including Easter dresses and bonnets for the girls and suits and ties for the boys.
The Easter holiday is also a fun time for kids of all ages to take part in many activities, including dying Easter eggs, going on Easter egg hunts, and devouring Easter baskets filled to the brim with chocolates and sweets.
Easter Flowers and Gifts
This is also the time to enjoy the best of spring flowers by incorporating them in the Easter celebrations, including Easter flower arrangements, Easter flower baskets, Easter centerpieces, and Easter lilies.
We have a wide range of spring flowers, including Tulips, Gorgeous Cymbidium Orchids, Iris, Hydrangea, Azalea and Blooming Baskets in a range of colors, sizes, and prices.
Our Easter arrangements also come dressed with Easter symbols like bunnies and chicks. They can come finished off with bright spring ribbons that can coordinate with your Easter table cloths or table runners.
You can also put together fun and tasty Easter baskets full of treats for everyone that may have a sweet tooth, both young and old. We also have a wide range of add-ons, such as truffles, chocolates, stuffed Easter animals and Mylar balloons.
Other treats include chocolate-dipped pears, spring flower cake pops, and frosted Easter cookies.
