Events

In "Easter Traditions in Boston", Anthony Sammarco revisits the long-held traditions of decorating Easter eggs, decorating an Egg Tree, choosing an Easter bonnet, children's Easter egg hunts, and attending Easter Services before joining the O'Neils and the Houghtons, who annually participated in matching Easter outfits in the Easter Parade on the Commonwealth Avenue Mall in Boston's Back Bay. Bostonians have a shared tradition of this very special holiday and though it was ignored by the Puritans we can fondly remember in this book how our parents and grandparents celebrated the holiday
