We all know that Easter is always associated with Easter bunnies and colorfully-decorated eggs, but did you know that these things symbolize fertility, renewal, and new life? Every part of the world has unique holiday traditions, including Easter traditions based on their culture and history. Now, we\u2019re going to discover together three unique Easter traditions around the world that maybe you haven\u2019t heard of before. Let\u2019s take a look below!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Corfu, Greece<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/student-activity.binus.ac.id\/bnec\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2022\/04\/easter-in-corfu.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4589\" src=\"http:\/\/student-activity.binus.ac.id\/bnec\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2022\/04\/easter-in-corfu.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Image source: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.windventures.gr\/windventures-blog\/easter-in-corfu\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/www.windventures.gr\/windventures-blog\/easter-in-corfu\/<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the morning of Easter Saturday, when the clock strikes precisely at 11 am, residents of Corfu will throw red clay pots known as \u201cBotides\u201d from their balconies onto the street. This unique event is performed to symbolize the earthquake that followed the \u201cFirst Resurrection\u201d of Jesus Christ. Besides its religious meaning, this event also has a traditional background where the locals welcome spring by disposing of old pots so new ones can be used to gather the season\u2019s crops. Many locals and visitors went here to experience this unique Easter tradition.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bessi\u00e8res, France<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/student-activity.binus.ac.id\/bnec\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-05-at-17.54.56.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4591\" src=\"http:\/\/student-activity.binus.ac.id\/bnec\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-05-at-17.54.56.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"838\" height=\"474\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Image source: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.francebleu.fr\/infos\/culture-loisirs\/video-l-omelette-geante-degustee-par-6-000-personnes-a-bessieres-1555955179\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/www.francebleu.fr\/infos\/culture-loisirs\/video-l-omelette-geante-degustee-par-6-000-personnes-a-bessieres-1555955179<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Residents of Bessi\u00e8res in southwest France will gather volunteers to make a giant omelet with 15.000 eggs and cook them in a frying pan with a diameter of 4 meters on Easter Monday each year. Based on the information gained, this tradition requires 50 people in the making process, and it took around 90 minutes to break all the eggs &amp; half an hour to cook them. The omelet will be eaten by locals and visitors since it can feed up to 10.000 people. There\u2019s a historical reason behind this tradition. It is said to have begun when Napol\u00e8on Bonaparte passed through the town with his army, and he ate an omelet so delicious that he ordered the whole town to prepare the same but enormous one for his army the next day.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Finland<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/student-activity.binus.ac.id\/bnec\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-05-at-17.53.12.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4590\" src=\"http:\/\/student-activity.binus.ac.id\/bnec\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-05-at-17.53.12.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"726\" height=\"474\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pic source: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofinland.fi\/blog\/easter-in-finland\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/www.gofinland.fi\/blog\/easter-in-finland\/<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This tradition will probably make you wonder if it\u2019s an Easter tradition because it seems like a perfect way to celebrate Halloween. Children in Finland will dress up as witches and go door-to-door with their decorated willow twigs reciting: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cVirvon, varvon, tuoreeks terveeks, tulevaks vuodeks; vitsa sulle, palkka mulle<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,\u201d which is a wish for a healthy year in exchange for a chocolate egg or coin. In Western parts of Finland, large bonfires are lit on Holy Saturday to ward off the evil witches and spirits that are believed to roam around the streets before Easter. Locals believed that the more smoke and sparks, the better it could prevent the witches from harming people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/student-activity.binus.ac.id\/bnec\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-05-at-18.01.54.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4592\" src=\"http:\/\/student-activity.binus.ac.id\/bnec\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-05-at-18.01.54.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1170\" height=\"650\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Image source: https:\/\/www.enicbcmed.eu\/easter<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There you go for three unique Easter traditions around the world.
