Le mot du jour : Cloche de Pâques
Une cloche de Pâques is an Easter bell, usually made of chocolate. There is no Easter Bunny in France. Instead, we have the church bell, which, after being silent for the whole Holy Week, goes back to work at midnight on the Saturday night (or Sunday very early morning)When I was a kid, I was told that during the whole week, all the church bells had gone flying to Rome, and when they came back overnight, they rang and spread chocolate eggs everywhere. 🙂 I loved that story, and I loved even more waking up early to go in the garden and discover wonderfully coloured eggs!
I hope you all spent a quiet and happy Easter. Stay safe!
