Easter 2017 in Dublin
Do you have your Easter Egg ready? But do you know where is coming from? According to Wikipedia : The oldest tradition is to use dyed and painted chicken eggs, but a modern custom is to substitute chocolate eggs wrapped in colorful foil, or plastic eggs filled with confectionery such as chocolate. Although eggs, in general, were a traditional symbol of fertility and rebirth, in Christianity, for the celebration of Eastertide, Easter eggs symbolize the empty tomb of Jesus, from which Jesus resurrected.
In Ireland, tomorrow is Good Friday, regardless is not a public Bank Holiday many schools and organizations are closed, also, the public transport might be altered. As a Christian tradition you are not allowed to drink alcohol, also, you won’t able to buy alcohol in any shop or restaurant.
