I am aware there are already threads like this, but I am asking for any ideas for how to mark Easter in a not particularly liturgical way because I already know about streaming the triduum and everything.

Every year in the past (and I mean EVERY year) I’ve spent Easter at my parents’ house. After I left home I always went back for Christmas and Easter and quite a lot in between. But obviously I can’t do that this year.

I live with non Catholics and they don’t really “do” Easter. Yeah, they like chocolate but other than that…
I can’t go out because I’m considered “at risk” not that anywhere is open anyway.

So how can I mark Easter this year. I mean obviously I will be streaming the vigil but in a secular way how can I mark it and make it special?
 
Easter egg hunt! They’re fun especially if you have kids. Or are a kid. 🤣 In some cultures eggs symbolize resurrection.

Dye and decorate eggs. Make a cake in the shape of a bunny (cut a layer cake in half, set each half on its cut end—add jelly beans for eyes and construction paper ears.),

(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

hang plastic Easter eggs on an “Easter Tree” outside.
 
You might consider sending flowers to your parents by ordering online from something like 1800Flowers or something like that.

As far as where you live, I like the idea of outdoor decorations very much, even more so this year. It would give you a project to work on, but also be like a greeting card to your neighbors.

I am thinking of making a cross out of branches and hanging a piece of white cloth on it for Easter Sunday. I saw it on Pinterest, and it can be stuck into a large flower pot.

However you could make secular decorations. I saw some cute “Peeps” bunnies that looked just like the candy, but much larger. Made out of styrofoam.

I believe your British right mocksock? Are there nice British traditions?
 
Easter is a food and flowers holiday. I remember in college a bunch of us girls dressed up and went to a fancy brunch downtown. Obviously you can’t go out but you all could make a special brunch at the house, like omelets and cinnamon rolls and stuff like that.
