Sightseeing between Colmar and Mulhouse in Alsace
News
In Alsace, Easter is sacred and not only for the chocolate! It is the end of Lent and one of the most representative festivities of Alsatian traditions. It boasts an unbelievable number of activations and manifestations.
Easter celebrates the passion of Christ and his resurrection for the salvation of mankind. During these Easter festivities typical culinary specialties are offered like leg of lamb and Lamala (sort of a brioche shaped like a lamb). The Easter trees are decorated, a bit like the Christmas trees, but with eggs to replace the Christmas balls and special decorations that can be found on the Easter markets or which you can learn to use during special workshops.
The children participate in egg hunting, to gather a maximum of chocolates hidden by the Easter Bunny. Because in Alsace it is, of course, a rabbit that breeds the eggs in such a way that the bells of Rome do not have to come, as in the rest of France, to supply tons of chocolate.
