Easter

Description

A spring ritual in which Christians briefly resurrect someone claimed to have died. Despite its name, the ‘resurrection’ amounts to an annual rerun of the same theatrical stunt. Dyeing eggs and sonically motivating rabbits to mobilize grown children are honored traditions. Under the banner of faith, sweets are exchanged and indulgences traded in an open marketplace. Ultimately, it is a peculiar social experiment where participants joyfully reenact a forgotten myth.
