Easter Symbols and Traditions | Our Mississippi Home
SUMMARY: Easter marks a period of renewal and tradition for Christians, signifying the resurrection of Jesus. This holy occasion is celebrated in various ways, including attending church services, especially on Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Traditionally, individuals dress in new, bright outfits with girls donning frilly dresses and boys wearing new shirts and ties. The custom of wearing Easter bonnets, which began after the Civil War, has largely faded, but was once a staple of Easter parades. Families also engage in coloring Easter eggs, symbolizing new life and the resurrection. The Easter Bunny brings baskets filled with sweets, including jellybeans and chocolate bunnies, continuing the tradition of gifting. Easter feasts typically feature baked ham and are a significant part of the celebration. Decorations often include Easter lilies, symbolizing purity and rebirth. Easter embodies many beautiful traditions and symbols, emphasizing family and spiritual renewal.

SUMMARY: Fall is a cherished season, providing a welcome relief from the oppressive heat of a South Mississippi summer. It’s an ideal time for outdoor activities like walking in Desoto National Forest or cycling around Biloxi cemetery. As the weather cools, the family menu shifts from light summer fare to hearty dishes, with a focus on well-seasoned meals made with local ingredients. Jambalaya tops the list, made with smoked Conecuh sausage, vegetables, and Mississippi-grown rice. Other fall favorites include gumbo, shrimp etouffee, and shrimp boils, which are popular social gatherings rich in flavor and camaraderie.
