Easter Wells 2024

Sun, 31 Mar 2024 13:54:40 GMT

I had a turbulent last two weeks, especially Easter week, hence the relative scarceness of yours truly online. However, starting with Good Friday, things calmed down, and I was able to visit the Easter Wells we have in Franconian Switzerland again.

Easter Wells: Fairy Tales Edition

Sat, 31 Mar 2018 13:16:47 GMT

Happy Easter and Pessach to all who celebrate, and to everyone: I bring beautifully decorated wells, as I do every year. Since the Easter weekend in my hometown was predicted to be a rainy one, I used the sun on Good Friday to do my annual trip through Franconian Switzerland to admire the Easter Wells. This year, they had a distinct fairy tale theme, as you'll see below the cut, but for starters and above cut, enjoy some variations of Puss-in-Boots. The Marquis de Carabas salutes everyone.

Once more, enjoy the holidays, everyone!

Easter Wells 2014

Fri, 18 Apr 2014 06:50:39 GMT

Last year I was in London during the Easter holidays, which meant I couldn't follow one of my favourite Easter traditions, to wit, visiting the beautiful Easter Wells in our Franconian country side. This year, I did so one day early, because rain was broadcast for Good Friday (and sure enough, it's raining now), whereas yesterday it was lovely and sunny. And thus, I can share with you my annual Easter pic spam again - the wells in their multitudes of colours and eggs are there below the cut.

In case I shan't be able to post properly again during the holidays: happy Easter to all who celebrate it!

Easterly London

Due to being in London, I won't be able to indulge in my annual pictorial admiration of our Franconian Easter Wells, but London at Easter isn't half bad a sight, either.:).

Let me share some more London with you below the cut.

Easter Wells and Passion statues

Fri, 06 Apr 2012 15:29:34 GMT

It's Good Friday, and due to one of my Aged Parents being away, holidaying with a related young one in need of a mentor, I and my other Aged Parent made the annual trip to visit the Easter Wells in Franconian Switzerland earlier than usual, which means you get my annual pic spam earlier as well. Also the weather after a sunny March decided to become absolutely frightful, and it's supposed to snow tomorrow, so we figured to visit the lovely wells with their self painted eggs as long as going was good. We also attended the early morning passion walk, which was a first for me (and having been to Jerusalem, I can assure you the hills of my hometown are just as tough; especially at 5 am at 2° Centigrade). The man carrying the cross up and down no less than three Bamberg hills must have trained the whole year for that one. But while the sun didn't shine, dawn over a sleeping city and three thousand or so people marching carried awe with it.

Easter Wells 2010

If you're familiar with my ramblings, you know the Aged Parents and self always make a trip through the Franconian countryside around Easter, because we Franconians have a unique custom: decorating all the wells, and in some cases also the bridges, with hand-painted eggs and greenery. Even on cloudy days, it makes for a beautiful spectacle, and so I wish you a happy Easter weekend with the following pictures from Franconia:
