Buona Pasqua

 

Easter Bread

In Florence, Italy, the unique custom of the Scoppio del carro is observed. A holy fire is lit from stone shards from the Holy Sepulchre. This is used to light a fire during the singing of the Gloria of the Easter Sunday mass  which is used to ignite a rocket in the form of a dove. The dove represents peace and the holy spirit. This in turn lights a cart containing pyrotechnics in the small square before the Cathedral.

Today Easter is commercially important, seeing wide sales of greeting cards and confectionery such as chocolate Easter eggs as well as other Easter foods. Even many non-Christians celebrate these features of the holiday while ignoring the religious aspects.

    I together with my pals were actually examining the great items found on your web page and so unexpectedly got a terrible feeling I never thanked the site owner for those strategies. My young men are already absolutely warmed to read through them and have actually been having fun with them. Appreciation for getting quite kind as well as for deciding on some incredibly good guides most people are really eager to learn about. My very own sincere regret for not saying thanks to sooner.
