The Meaning of a Happy Easter in Spanish

Pascua (Easter) is a special time to rejoice in the new life of Christ and to celebrate the arrival of Spring. The Easter season lasts fifty days and ends on Domingo de Pentecostés (Pentecost Sunday). 

A symbol and staple of this Pascua around the world is the Easter bunny, which gained popularity in the 19th century. Rabbits usually give birth to a large litter of baby bunnies, so they became a symbol of new life. 

Legends tell children that the Easter bunny lays, decorates, and hides colorful eggs, as they are also a symbol of new life. This celebration is ideal for enjoying with kids and is full of delicious goodies like chocolates and candy.
