🌱 Spring Has Sprung: Let the Celebrations Begin
As the snow melts and flowers begin to bloom, spring arrives with a vibrant burst of life and color. It’s a season of renewal, celebration, and culture, marked by traditions from around the world that bring people together. From ancient rituals to modern floral festivals, here’s how different cultures honor the changing season—and how you can join in the fun with Ethnology’s spring-inspired treats. 🌷🍬
✡️ Passover – A Story of Freedom and Faith and Spring Celebration
Passover, or Pesach, is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the liberation of the Hebrew people from slavery in Egypt. It begins with a special meal called the seder, filled with prayers, traditional foods, and storytelling.
Families gather to eat matzo (unleavened bread), drink wine, and reflect on themes of resilience and renewal. A key symbol on the seder table is maror, a bitter herb representing hardship, making Passover both a remembrance and a celebration of hope.
✝️ Easter a Spring Celebration – Resurrection and Renewal
Easter is a Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ and symbolizes new life and rebirth. While deeply spiritual, Easter also brings fun and family-focused traditions like egg hunts, candy-filled baskets, and festive meals.
In the U.S., even the White House joins in, hosting the annual Easter Egg Roll. From decorated eggs to marshmallow chicks, Easter is a beautiful mix of faith and festivity.
🎨 Holi – The Festival of Colors
In India, Holi welcomes spring with colorful joy and community spirit. Celebrated on the last full moon of the Hindu lunar calendar, it’s a time to throw vibrant powders (gulal), light bonfires, and wash away negativity.
Holi is a festival of renewal, unity, and playfulness—a powerful symbol of how color can connect us all.
🌅 Nowruz – Persian New Year
Nowruz, meaning “New Day,” marks the Persian New Year and the start of spring. Celebrated in Iran and across Central Asia, Nowruz blends ancient Zoroastrian rituals with modern gatherings.
The Haft-Seen table is a centerpiece of the celebration, showcasing symbolic items that represent love, wisdom, health, and renewal. It’s a holiday rooted in reflection and community.
💦 Songkran – A Splash of Thai New Year
Songkran, Thailand’s New Year celebration, is a joyful, water-soaked festival meant to wash away the old year and welcome a fresh start.
People gently pour water on elders for blessings—and then hit the streets for epic water fights that turn entire cities into playful splash zones.
🌸 National Cherry Blossom Festival – Washington, D.C.
Every Spring Celebration, Washington D.C. transforms into a pink paradise thanks to thousands of cherry blossom trees, a gift from Japan in 1912. The National Cherry Blossom Festival celebrates U.S.-Japan friendship with events, parades, and a breathtaking view of the city in bloom.
