3. Easter symbols in our Easter coloring pages and the story behind
Easter is a religious holiday that has some symbols associated with it. Let’s study these symbols, and at the same time learn some new information about them.
3.1. Easter Eggs
Easter eggs, also called Paschal eggs, are an indispensable part of this holiday. The reason is eggs are the symbol of fertility and regeneration.
Traditionally, people used boiled eggs and color them in red. Because red symbolizes the blood of Christ when he was crucified.
However, these days, people color eggs with a lot of hues and special patterns. Especially, they also use chocolate eggs and wrapped in foil.
As a kids, we must love these eggs, maybe we can eat them or decorate them. And why don’t color them on your way with the easter eggs coloring pages.
On our collection, eggs will have some special patterns. For example, you can find polka dots and stripes, swirls and abstract art, or even floral design.
I will suggest some color scheme that you can use for your Easter eggs.
- Soft pastel shades: Pink, baby blue, light yellow, mint green, lavender.
- Bold neon colors: Bright orange, lime green, hot pink, deep blue.
- Ombre effect: You can blend form light to dark color with any hues you like to create ombre effect.
3.2. Our Easter Baskets Have Symbolic Meaning
In our Easter coloring pages, we have these woven baskets in different shapes and sizes. But, woven baskets have a special meaning in our lives around this time of the year.
When we fill them to the brim with our Easter eggs, they represent new life. They carry the same meaning as egg nests when they have to nurture eggs until they hatch.
In addition to all of this, they make it easy for us to carry all of our eggs in one container. To suggest woven basket, you can use Natural Brown Shades.
The reason is to mimic the natural color of woven basket that made from wicker or straw. You can try using different shades of brown (light tan, beige, dark brown) for your page.
You also can try shadow technique by adding dark color where the weaving overlaps.
3.3. Easter Bunny
Besides Easter eggs, Easter bunny is significant symbol on this holiday. Like the reindeers which carry gifts on Christmas, Easter bunnies are the same.
They bring the egg baskets to give to children on Easter morning. Similar to eggs, they also symbolize fertility and new life.
To color these special bunnies, let’s choose color for their fur first. You can choose light brown, gray or even pastel pink. For their eyes, they are usually blue, green or brown. Don’t forget a small white dot for a blink effect.
To make your bunny cuter, let’s add pink inside its ear and nose.
3.4. Easter Chick
The last symbol featured in our collection is Easter chick. Similar to other two, chicks also represent new beginnings and reborn. Another reason is chicks hatch from eggs, which are also a major Easter symbol.
Normally, people usually color them with yellow or golden colors. Besides, to make them cute, people add pink blush and an orange beak for them.
4. Some fun information around Easter holiday
Let’s learn some other fun things around Easter holiday while coloring Easter coloring pages.
4.1. American Ham vs Jewish Lamb
In the olden days, Easter was originally part of the Passover holiday in Jewish tradition. On that day, the main dish was usually lamb.
However, as time went on, Americans decided that ham would be a better suited alternative. Actually, ham is that it wouldn’t have been a good idea back in the days.
The reason is ham used to be cured in winter. This meant that it could only be ready to eat around Spring time.
4.2. Lilies are a New Thing
People use lilies a lot on Easter these days. However, fun fact is they only became a symbol after World War I.
Before that, they were more popular in England and Japan. The main reason why we now see lilies as part of our Easter coloring pages is that they also symbolize rebirth.
In addition, they give us a sense of hope around this time. These are the two main themes that have taken center stage in our Easter celebrations.
4.3. Easter Clothes are a Thing
There are many surprising superstitions around this time of the year. One of these is the new clothes that we love to get for our kids and ourselves.
One of the oldest beliefs is that if we buy new clothes and wear them on this day, our year would be filled with a lots of good luck.
We go to church and have family gatherings while strutting our new clothes for a valid reason. In NYc, the Easter Parade and the Bonnet Festival became the main events.
At these event, people had the opportunity to enjoy this tradition the most. Do you like to have new clothes on this holiday or buy new clothes for your lovely person?
