Many customs surround the celebration of Easter. One of them is the wearing of special clothes on Easter Sunday. It dates back to when people being baptized on Easter wore beautiful clothes to reflect their new joy and freedom. Decorating the church with lilies is another Easter custom. They symbolize the purity of Christ.
Tradition also plays a role in the importance of the lily.
Mary wept for her son at the cross. Bananas are part of the Easter celebration in the Canary Islands. The sign of the crucifixion is shown when one cuts the banana lengthwise. Customs are important aspects of our community and personal lives because they bring interest and joy. We love to share in these activities.
