Easter sayings in everyday Italian: your Easter word search made easy.

Our Easter sayings from Italy will help you learn basic Easter words and some festive Italian phrases.

Italian culture and customs mean that Easter is celebrated with great enthusiasm and the usual Italian love of celebration. It's a time of great happiness - a welcome to the Spring and to new life.

Although Italian Easter egg tradition is strong in Italy (it's bound to be - it involves chocolate!) the custom of sending cards containing commercially-produced Easter sayings isn't as widespread.

But that doesn't mean to say that a card, letter or even e-card in everyday Italian won't be appreciated by your friends. It most definitely will.

This page will help you do an Easter word search for all those greetings you want to send!
