Easter across Europe: stories we share, moments we cherish

Published on

Some celebrations whisper. Others sing. Easter does both.

Across Europe, this time of year stirs something profound—an echo of childhood memories, the scent of spring in the air, the quiet of churches, the laughter around the table. Whether you’re lighting a candle, baking sweet bread, or simply enjoying a few well-deserved days off, Easter tends to bring a pause—a moment to reconnect, to reflect, to celebrate.

But Easter’s beauty lies in its variety.

It means different things to different people, which makes it special.

For many, it’s a time of profound spiritual meaning.

In Greece, midnight masses spill into candlelit streets.

In Spain, elaborate processions fill entire towns with solemn rhythm and devotion.

In Poland, families bring baskets of food to be blessed—a gesture rooted in faith and tradition.

These moments aren’t just rituals.

They’re shared emotions passed on across generations.

For others, Easter is a celebration of spring itself.

Think of the egg hunts in English gardens, the cheerful chaos of chocolate bunnies lining every supermarket shelf, and the pastel colours popping up after the long grey of winter.

It’s about light returning, nature waking up, and—yes—those small joys we sometimes forget to notice.

And then there are the wonderfully unexpected customs. In Sweden, children dress up as Easter witches and trade hand-drawn cards for sweets.

In the Czech Republic, boys chase girls with willow branches on Easter Monday—a curious tradition that still sparks laughter (and the occasional bucket of cold water in revenge).

Italy celebrates with dove-shaped cakes, Greece with red eggs, and the UK with hot cross buns.

Each bite tells a story.

Each tradition holds a memory.

What unites all these moments isn’t a single meaning but a shared rhythm—a sense that this part of the year carries a little magic.

In our own ways, we all are looking for connection—with our past, our families, the seasons, and perhaps ourselves.

At #inextremis, we cherish this mosaic of experiences.

It reminds us that communication—our craft and passion—is never just about information.

It’s about feeling.

It’s about the stories we tell and the care with which we tell them.

So whether you’re celebrating quietly or loudly, with prayer or pastries, may this Easter bring you a meaningful moment.

Warm wishes from all of us at #inextremis.

May your spring be bright, your days peaceful, and your table full.
