Germans observe Easter traditions

Germans observe Easter traditions

by Petra Lessoing
86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

The meaning of Easter is universal, but it’s celebrated differently throughout the world. Even in the various states of Germany, people observe different traditions and customs. Little trees in backyards are decorated with Easter eggs, special Easter wreaths hang on entrance doors, and in houses, Germans put branches of forsythias, willow catkins and other trees in vases and decorate them with Easter eggs and ornaments. In some towns, Easter trees are put up, fountains are decorated with eggs, flowers and garlands, and Easter markets with selling booths and merry-go-rounds are held.
