We're recording on Good Friday but releasing after Easter, so join us for a time-warped exploration of all things Easter-related! After catching up about Davey's recent Florida adventure (complete with Disney rash and Mickey Mouse sightings), we dive into Easter traditions both familiar and obscure.
Did you ever wonder why we eat chocolate eggs or where the Easter bunny originated? From hot cross buns (which Davey loves but Hannah detests) to the symbolic significance of lamb roasts, we unpack the religious and cultural meanings behind these Easter staples. We also discover some lesser-known traditions like Simnel Cake with its eleven marzipan balls representing the apostles, Easter lilies symbolizing resurrection, and rural Easter bonfires meant to ward off evil spirits.
The highlight of our episode is a lively fact-or-fiction game where Hannah puts her Easter knowledge to the test. Learn surprising facts about Queen Elizabeth I banning hot cross buns, the world's largest Easter egg standing 34 feet tall, and why Easter Island got its name. With plenty of laughs and a few lighthearted debates about "Zombie Jesus," we celebrate this spring holiday while respecting its deeper significance.
Whether you're a chocolate egg enthusiast, a religious observer, or just curious about holiday traditions, this episode offers something for everyone. And remember—just because you're an adult doesn't mean you don't deserve an Easter egg! Share your own Easter traditions with us on social media and let us know if you've ever experienced any of the more unusual customs we discuss.
