Well done to all the children who took part in this year’s Easter Bonnet Parade.
Your creative talents and imagination never fail to impress.
What does the Easter bonnet symbolise?
An Easter bonnet is a fancy new hat that is traditionally worn on Easter. The hat is usually decorated with eggs, flowers, bunnies or chicks, or any other typical depictions of Easter and springtime.
Wearing a new Easter bonnet marks the end of Lent, whereby luxury items can be purchased and used again.
This symbolises the physical renewal of life in the springtime and also the spiritual renewal and redemption promised for Christians through Jesus.
