Why do we even call it Easter? Some say it’s from Eostre, a pagan goddess of spring. Others say it’s just a Germanic word for “dawn.” Honestly, I’m team “any excuse for chocolate.”
The eggs? They symbolised new life. The bunny? No one really knows. But he’s cute, so he stays.
What if you’re planning a trip?
Listen up. If you’re booking a train or a flight for that weekend, do it now. Or at least before February. Prices go bonkers. Everyone and their nan is trying to get to Cornwall or the Lake District.
You’ll be stuck in a traffic jam on the M5, eating a half-melted Crunchie bar and questioning your life choices. It’s a rite of passage.
