'LOVE IN LOCKDOWN' EPISODE 17: EASTER WEEKEND
HAPPY EASTER WEEKEND!
Despite Easter being a Christian festival and holiday
commemorating the resurrection of Jesus, it’s no secret that the annual return
of Easter eggs sparks excitement for all. An investment that many look forward
to, religious or not.
Over 80 million boxed Easter eggs are sold in the UK every
year, it’s evident that they are an extremely popular purchase. Crème Eggs are
Cadbury’s most popular, over 500
million are made each year and about two thirds of that are enjoyed
in the UK. They’re a global sensation at Easter time.
This year, Easter weekend falls on the 4th April. When
amid the ongoing pandemic and unable to socialise with those we care for face
to face, it’s another Easter where restrictions may result in the inability to
gift an Easter egg or meet with a host of friends or family in person. But that doesn’t mean Easter
will not be celebrated.
Here are some things you could try over the weekend to relax and celebrate:
1) Garden Easter Egg Hunt: Hide some little Easter Eggs around the garden and get the rest of your family or anyone you live with to find them!
2) Watch a film: Streaming platforms including Netflix and Amazon Prime provide a variety of films to enjoy. But alongside that, television channels are airing some great films over the weekend that you could watch.
