Easter is a major Christian holiday when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus from the tomb of death. For many years I've had an Easter tree that I begin at this time of the year by snipping branches from my lilac bushes and putting them in water. Over the weeks of Lent, prior to Easter, the buds gradually begin to open into beautiful green leaves. This works well with other dormant shrubs as well.
If you want to get fancy you could put ribbons on the tree or other little ornaments. I prefer to appreciate the beauty of the new leaves and their symbol of new life.
