Easter sayings in everyday Italian: your Easter word search made easy.

Our Easter sayings from Italy will help you learn basic Easter words and some festive Italian phrases.

Italian culture and customs mean that Easter is celebrated with great enthusiasm and the usual Italian love of celebration.  It's a time of great happiness - a welcome to the Spring and to new life.

Although Italian Easter egg tradition is strong in Italy (it's bound to be - it involves chocolate!) the custom of sending cards containing commercially-produced Easter sayings isn't as widespread.

But that doesn't mean to say that a card, letter or even e-card in everyday Italian won't be appreciated by your friends. It most definitely will. 

This page will help you do an Easter word search for all those greetings you want to send!

How to use these Italian Easter sayings

If you'd like to send a few Italian phrases or Easter words to family or friends this year, you don't need to learn to speak even everyday Italian.

And if you've left it too late to send a card by post, our free interactive e-cards of Italian images are there for you to use.  If you'd also like to add some Italian love phrases, so much the better!
