50 Times Creatives Came Up With The Most Interesting DIY Ideas For Easter (New Pics)

Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, jellybeans are also seen as a symbol of modern Easter. The candy became linked to the Christian holiday back in the 1930s due to how it’s shaped similarly to an egg.

The National Confectioners Association reported that a whopping 16 billion (yes, ‘billion’ with a ‘b’) jellybeans are made in the US for Easter every year. Another popular Easter treat is the marshmallow Peep. Easter is a fantastically profitable holiday for chocolate and candy manufacturers.

The odds are that if you take a closer look at how different families celebrate Easter, you’ll find a lot of variety. Holidays and how they’re celebrated don’t just evolve slowly over the decades in society; they can vary a lot from individual household to household.

For instance, one family might focus on decorating eggs or attending religious ceremonies. Meanwhile, another might see Easter as an excuse to go all-out and organize massive chocolate scavenger hunts for the entire neighborhood.

How you celebrate Easter (and other holidays) is less important than the fact that you do celebrate it.

Or, in other words, the fact that you have any family traditions is more important than the details of the traditions themselves. Traditions give us a sense of who we are and help nourish families. They’re what brings us together, year after year.

Tell us a bit about the Easter traditions that you have at home, dear Pandas. How do you celebrate the holiday? What activities do you focus on? How do you decorate your home? Did any of the photos in this post inspire you to try something new this year?
