Why are there tulips associated with Easter?
Tulips are a traditional spring flower for Easter because it represents the renewal, rebirth, and springtime which fits in perfectly with the Easter holiday.
Tulips are one of the first blooms to emerge after winter, which encapsulates the resurrection and hope of Easter. Their open petals and vivid colours — reds and yellows to pinks and purples — reflect the joy and celebration of the occasion.
For Christian purposes, tulips have been associated with the resurrection of Jesus, and the tulip’s beautiful flower represents the hope of life in the afterlife. Tulips are also common to use in Easter bouquets, table centerpieces and Easter decor, brightening homes and churches throughout the season. They’re beautiful and yearly, making them an easy choice for Easter in spring.
