Amid Ramadan, the life and resurrection of Christ, pragmatic with great zeal all around the world, was being observed.
Whilst we the busy bees rejoice in the event by concocting yummy delicacies and decking up our pretty siestas, the kids mostly prefer to dig into cakes, colourful candies, chocolate bunnies, coloured eggs, marshmallow chicks, and jellybeans – bringing a ray of hope and signify new life.
Time to perform some Easter rituals for Christians. The feel is unique with everything back to normal, something we have been in a quest for ever since the outset of "COVID" with restrictions placed.
Gift-giving that forms an integral part of the Easter celebrations is still adopted with fervour all across the globe. Luckily this falls on a Sunday which is a weekend.
Some communities have elucidated celebrations such as processions, whereas others involve attending mass and singing melodies. The day will also witness lavish feasts and a variety of traditional dishes being cooked and served.
Easter gift baskets are one of the most popular selling gift products and are usually stuffed with toys, books, accessories, chocolates, and candies.
Nowadays, people from other faiths celebrate the occasion with equal zeal. What better way to lighten up the mood of your special ones and spread the festive cheer than gifting an Easter flower basket loaded with colourful spring blooms?
