How the Amish Commemorate Easter

The Easter weekend in the Amish community begins on Good Friday, the day that symbolizes Christ's crucifixion, with fasting till noon. They choose to fast because it reflects on the sacred day.This season is often commemorated with a communion service on Sunday, which carries immense spiritual significance as they reflect on Jesus Christ and His life. Saturday through Monday is spent visiting, socializing with family and friends, and enjoying delicious meals. One of the most common foods served at the dinner table is eggs, because they mean rebirth.  Easter Sunday is when the largest gatherings are held. Sometimes the children go around and sing to the elderly members in their community as well. The Monday after Easter Sunday is treated like an "Off-Sunday" or what the Amish also call "Visiting Sunday." There are no church services held, but families will only do the necessary livestock chores and then spend the rest of the day visiting with family and friends. On Tuesday, they return to their normal weekly routine and jobs. Relax... Cleaning Poly is Easy! Do you enjoy being outside? Are you looking for outdoor furniture that will last and is easy to clean?
