American Greetings Rings in the Season. Spring is here, so American Greetings thought this would be a good time to dust off our brains and see what we really know about the coming holidays of Easter and Passover. This year, Easter falls on April 15. A. Seems that way.
Easter now ranks as the fourth-largest greeting card sending holiday.
American Greetings' Easter line includes everything from Pok mon to popular money holders to family, religious and love captions. Of all the symbols associated with Easter, the egg, the symbol of fertility and new life, is the most identifiable. The customs and traditions of using eggs have been associated with Easter for centuries. Originally, Easter eggs were painted with bright colors to represent the sunlight of spring and were used in Easter-egg rolling contests or given as gifts. After they were colored and etched with various designs, the eggs were exchanged by romantic admirers, mush the same as valentines.
