  • An Introductory Guide To
    Top 10 Easter Traditions in Italy How to celebrate Easter in Italy A Publication of Charmingitaly.com Suggestive and fascinating: Easter Traditional celebrations to experience in Italy The Easter festivity plays a central role in Italy where it is the second most important day after Christmas. All over the peninsula, both in large cities and tiny villages, processions weave their way through narrow streets, ancient old towns and main squares until finally they arrive at the local Cathedral. It is a traditional celebration due to the historical and cultural importance of the Catholic religion in Italy and because of the religious meaning of Easter itself: while Christmas is Jesus’ birth, Easter is his passion, death and resurrection. If you have never experienced a “passion play” on Good Friday, close your eyes for a moment and try to imagine it: a deep silence broken only by chanting choirs for a unique, sad and engaging ritual, with thousands candles all wrapped in red paper that set aside the dark and deep shades of the night. The thousands moving rituals that take place throughout Italy from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday terminate with a special Easter lunch and with the amusing picnic of “Pasquetta”. Seasonal delicacies and gastronomic delights celebrate not only the Easter Sunday, but also the bounty of Primavera. Easter also signals the arrival of Spring, and many pagan traditions that used to mark the arrival of the "beautiful season" have been incorporated into the religious festivities. With the Mediterranean scrub in bloom and the warm weather forecast, there is no better place to be than in Italy during the long Easter weekend.

The egg is an ancient symbol of new life, associated with pagan festivals celebrating Spring. Decorating eggs for Easter is a tradition that dates back to at least the 13th century. Chocolate Easter eggs started in the 19th century with the first British dark chocolate eggs made by Cadbury’s in 1875. 3 Easter Sunday does not occur on the same date each year. Back in the 4th century it was decided that the date of Easter would be set for the first Sunday following the first full moon of Spring. March 22nd is the earliest day that Easter can occur and April 25th is the latest. 4 Ingredients used in a traditional Easter Simnel cake include: butter, brown sugar, eggs, self-raising flour, sultanas, currants, glace cherries, candied peel, lemon zest, ground mixed spice. For the decorating you will need almond paste, apricot jam and egg white.
