Beautiful Symbols of Easter

Lots of the things that people associate with spring are also associated with the Easter holiday. It's not necessarily because they both occur at the same time, but rather because there are many meaningful reasons behind quite a few of them. The home decor items at the Lake of the Ozarks that we have in store right now make excellent Easter decorations. After learning some of the symbolism surrounding them, they seem even more beautiful.  

The Cross
This is a reminder of not only the crucifixion, but also the glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ. It signifies God's power to forgive sins and give new life. You are very likely to see hot cross buns on the Easter dinner table in homage to this. 

Easter Eggs
Eggs at Easter time aren't just plastic containers for holding candy surprises. Many Christians see it as a reminder of the tomb from which Jesus arose. A long time ago, eggs colored red were made to symbolize the Resurrection. The baby chicks you see are the sign of new life from the eggs.  

Easter Lilies
The fact that these beautiful flowers bloom close to Easter in the spring makes them ideal for a holiday flower. They also resemble trumpets, which happens to be a symbol for living forever with God. 

Bunnies
In ancient times, the rabbit was seen as a symbol for abundant new life, which is a key theme for the Easter holiday. 

Butterflies
These lovely creatures begin life as a caterpillar, which spins itself away into a cocoon. When it emerges, new and even more beautiful than ever, this life cycle can be seen as a symbol of eternal life. It is representative of Jesus living on Earth, his burial in a tomb, and his emerging from that tomb to an eternal life.  

Lambs
Jesus was described by John the Baptist as the "Lamb of God," and there are many places in the bible where this title is used. 

Pretzels
This snack food is often eaten during Lent and can be served for Easter. The shape resembles arms crossed in prayer.
