It goes without saying that Easter is a holiday that is widely celebrated around the world. Especially if you’re Christian, Easter is the time when you commemorate the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Though anyone is welcome to celebrate Easter, it is still important to remember the essence of this holiday and why it is being celebrated.

You definitely cannot leave out the list of Easter traditional food staples which stem from different beliefs and symbolism and this includes snacks and desserts.

Here are some of the best and most famous traditional Easter desserts:

Easter Eggs

One must not forget the ever famous Easter eggs. It is definitely one of the few indicators that Easter is being celebrated! From a Christian perspective, Easter eggs represent Jesus’ resurrection which gave this food a symbol of “new life”. Easter eggs can either be a decorative piece or an activity that can add life to the celebration (I’m talking about Easter egg hunt!).

Chocolate Easter Bunny

Chocolate Easter bunnies come in pair with the colorful dyed Easter eggs for the fact that it adds decoration to your place and it brings fun to your celebration especially if your guests include children! The Easter Bunny is a folkloric figure and symbol of Easter which is seen as a rabbit bringing Easter eggs.
