Maundy Set

Easter is the most important religious festival of the Christian faith. It not only symbolizes an occasion of renaissance, it also symbolizes new commencements as well as the aura of springtime. As per the Christian belief, Lord Jesus got resurrected, after His death, three days after he was crucified. Christians all over the world, celebrate this event on the Easter Day. This day is preceded by the Good Friday as well as the Maundy Thursday.

The list of events, pertaining to the crucifixion, as well as resurrection of the Lord, diversely inferred to be in between A.D. 26 and 36. Originally, the Easter Season would last for 40 days from Easter till the Ascension Day. These days, however, it lasts for 50 days till Pentecost. Easter is not a festival, which is celebrated on a fixed date, pertaining to the civil calendar. The First Council of Nicaea, (which is widely believed to be the first Ecumenical council of Christian Church) set up the date of Easter, as the first Sunday after full moon subsequent to vernal equinox.

The first week of this season is referred to as Easter Week. Easter also represents end to a season of fasting, prayers, as well as atonement. Easter celebrations played a major role in the Victorian culture. Due to our fascination with this period, more and more people want to celebrate Easter just like the way, the Victorians celebrated. So, if you too wish to do so, then it would not come up as a surprise to me. The following are some of the characteristics of Easter celebration as per the Victorian period that can be a part of your own Easter celebrations:

1.Easter greetings

Easter greeting cards as well as scrap art were a popular feature during this period. Images of bunnies as well the holy Cross were generally printed over them apart from the biblical scriptures, formed part of Easter greetings.

2.Easter program

In this period, with no electronic equipments, celebrations were relatively simpler as well as less formal. Prayers, scripture readings as well as attending the church on the auspicious day of Easter; formed part of Victorian Easter celebrations.

3.Easter eggs

Easter eggs formed an inseparable part of Easter celebrations. As part of the celebrations, Victorian children used to decorate the Easter eggs. These eggs used to be colored in a number of different colors with cranberries, beets, oranges as well as lemon peels.

Easter celebration was a major part of the culture of that time and continues to be so, till this date.
