A Few Dos And Don'ts To Make For A Safe And Incident-Free Happy Easter
By Audrey Sneddon

Easter has become ever more commercialized and secularized, as is the case with most other Christian holidays. It was, from inception in the second century, a holy celebration; though it also had a non-religious side as well, being a Pagan festival to begin with. Happy Easter is the greeting spoken or communicated on that day of the year when children find colored eggs, and when everyone remembers that Jesus rose from the dead.

A Time For Some Do-It-Yourself Improvements

Easter is also a time when many people plan on a do-it-yourself home improvement adventure, but it can also be fraught with danger. For instance, many people can either get killed or hurt themselves while doing such things over the Easter break. One should thus take care and follow some useful tips for safety during the Happy Easter time, which includes planning ahead, not making haste, protecting oneself as well as taking other safety measures.

Though everyone wishes to have a Happy Easter, there are activities that can cause injuries, especially to children, and it requires taking some Easter safety precautions such as ensuring that Easter toys and dolls are free of choking hazards. Anything that can be removed from a doll or toy is a potential choking danger to small children. It is also not advisable to give children that are less than five years of age small candles or chocolates on which they may easily choke.

Happy Easter is the time when chocolate bunnies are a part of Easter tradition; but one should be careful when giving such gifts to children that may have allergies to peanuts or other nuts. Even eggs given on Happy Easter may pose a threat to children, as they can support the rapid growth of disease-causing bacteria such as Salmonella, and before the Easter eggs are boiled for decorative or painting purposes, they must be refrigerated. If Easter eggs are left in any form at room temperature for a period exceeding two hours, they should not be eaten and can safely be discarded.

Nevertheless, there are many ways of saying and enjoying Happy Easter, and pictures, cards, as well as spoken words are wonderful to convey good wishes. Gold is no doubt the color for Happy Easter, which is certainly the “Queen of Feasts,” and white is another color most used for the season of Easter. Happy Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the Spring Equinox.
