Happy Easter
Edith mentions Easter Sunday within the text of 15th April 1906, (Country Diary of An Edwardian Lady). She is actually out and about in the southwest of England at that time. On the 17th she mentions, ‘Miss B. had some lovely Pasque flowers sent her from Oxfordshire this morning.’
The Pasque flower name originates from the French word ‘Pâques’ which means Easter. This also connects to the theme of resurrection and renewal. Throughout history various cultures have revered the Pasque flower for its representation of rebirth and new beginnings.
An illustration of the Pasque flower from the book is shown below.
