I really like these Easter decorations! I don't think you have shown us any before (I could be wrong on that, but I don't remember seeing any!).
In the U.S. we have plenty of Christmas street decorations, but I've never seen any for Easter. I guess our secular society hasn't commercialized the celebration of Easter as much as they have Christmas. Many people here don't know how to handle Easter...there is plenty of Easter candy, Easter baskets in stores, etc., but no public displays. Some people do decorate their homes outside and their property, but that is about it...

Before I didn`t pay attention because they are not as conspicuous as Christmas ones. As for Easter traditions, they are sort of neglected in the USA because Easter is also about death? And this topic is sensitive taboo in your country? |

And this topic is sensitive taboo in your country? No, I don't think that is it...I think it's because since it is not a big gift-giving holiday (which is what the meaning of Christmas has become for them), the secular element of society doesn't really know what they are celebrating at Easter. For them it is about a bunny and candy, and of course, because they don't understand the spiritual nature of Easter the holiday becomes meaningless to them. But don't get me wrong...there are many people who do celebrate Easter for the proper reasons. It's the second most popular day after Christmas for Christians who don't usually go to church to attend. And the regular church-goers, of course, turn out in droves! |
