Easter: History, Traditions, and Customs Around the World

Easter is one of those holidays that feels instantly familiar—chocolate eggs, pastel colors, bunnies doing questionable amounts of work—yet when you pause for a second, it’s also oddly mysterious. Why eggs? Why rabbits? Why does the date change every year, just to keep us all slightly confused?

Easter is celebrated by billions of people worldwide, but it doesn’t look the same everywhere. In some places it’s deeply religious and solemn; in others it’s playful, crafty, and sugar-fueled. In many homes (especially those with small children), it’s all of the above.

This is a pillar guide to Easter: where it comes from, what it means, how it’s celebrated around the world, and how ancient rituals, Christian theology, and folk traditions all somehow ended up on the same holiday table.

Birthdays. We all have them. Some of us celebrate them loudly with cake, banners, and a suspicious amount of prosecco. Others would quite happily pretend the whole thing isn’t happening and just eat a biscuit in peace.

Pull up a chair (preferably near the cake), because birthdays have a surprisingly long, weird, and occasionally unhinged history. From ancient gods and evil spirits to medieval peasants who absolutely did not get a party, here’s the story of birthdays—plus plenty of fun facts you can casually drop at your next celebration.
