    Easter Sunday: Traditions and Its Celebrations

    It was on a Friday that the world had to witness how Jesus Christ died on the cross. He was crucified for the sins of the world as a means of forgiveness and salvation. However, two days went by and He has proven Himself as the Son of God by resurrecting and continuously showering us with blessings, guidance and hope. As we now celebrate Easter Sunday, we will discover how this momentous occasion is celebrated all around the world.

    Explosion of the Cart

    In Florence, Italy, people are celebrating Easter with a 350-year old tradition that is truly explosive and fun. It is called as Scorpio del Carro, otherwise known as Explosion of the Cart. A delicately-designed cart is filled with fireworks and is roamed around the streets by people adorned with 15th century costumes.

    Its final stop is the Duomo where the Archbishop of Florence lights the fuse. The lighting of the fuse is done during an Easter Mass and outside, people will get to witness a meaningful fireworks display. This tradition dates back to the First Crusade and is a symbol for their hopes of a great harvest.

    Starting with the Via Crucis that the Pope commemorates on a Good Friday, a mass is celebrated on Holy Saturday and on Easter Sunday.
