What have you observed about our Easter Holiday? What have you learned through conversations/experience about Easter? What have you observed about its themes? What significance does Easter have for most Americans? Why do you think this?
As I am a christian, I already knew the meaning of Easter. However, it is suprised that the USA keeps the Easter day as officiall holiday. Regardless of their religion, most Korean know Easter egg. In our country, Cristian give Easter egg to atheist with telling about the Easter egg. As all most things are nearly same, I don't realized much difference between two countries. When I went to the Shopko, I realized that lilly also gets the meaning of the the Easter. And I heard that people think that lilly symboilze purity, virtue, innocence, hope and life of the spiritual essence of Easter because of their beautiful trumpet-shaped and white flowers. I could see that most American get together at church or their house in Easter day and they have a time to praise Easter day together and to share its meanings with others because I think that Americans might consider that their religion and family are the most important things in their life.
Yeah, I am suprise that Easter is an official holiday in America as well. I used to think that Easter and Spring break is same thing...
