Abstract: The present work proposes a foray into the magic of Easter, one of the most important Christian holidays, which, not coincidentally, is celebrated in the spring, when nature is reborn. For Christians, the Resurrection of Jesus represents the victory of light over darkness, life over death and hope over despair. Like other Christian holidays, the Easter ones also bring a series of customs, superstitions and popular traditions with ancient origins, preserved with sanctity to this day. We will pay attention to the traditions of Easter, briefly presenting the main symbols that accompany this Christian holiday: the candle, the red or painted egg, pasca, the lamb, etc.
