Happy Easter everyone. I recently read about Easter traditions around the wold. I copied An Easter tradition in France that I thought was interesting.
The sound of church bells ring every day of the year in France, except during Easter. The bells are silent from Good Friday to Holy Saturday to commemorate the death of Christ. The old tale, and what a lot of parents tell their little ones, is that the bells are silent because they’re flying all the way to Rome for a special blessing by the Pope. The bells then return Easter morning and begin to chime again. The Easter bells (les cloches de Pâques) are believed to bring chocolate and other sweet treats on their return.
What interesting Easter family traditions do you have?
