Easter is commonly associated with chocolate eggs, Sunday brunches, and springtime hues. But for some, particularly those grounded in such traditions as appam and stew for breakfast, the holiday also awakens something more profound — a yearning for a renewed spirit and simpler pleasures.
This year, more and more people are turning their attention away from consumeristic celebrations towards meaningful connections with faith and culture. The pungent aroma of just-baked appam, the merriment that surrounds a communal table, and moments of serene introspection are all reminders of Easter’s real spirit — rebirth, hope, and grace.
While Easter eggs and decorations are nice, it’s the passed-down stories and the spiritual reflection that really make the day. Many feel it’s time we took back these traditions to make our celebrations more than skin-deep.
In a world hurrying through holidays, remembering the heart of Easter—be it through food, family, or faith—could be just the kind of revival we need.
