Only a few days until loving Easter Estersl is hidden in the gardens and apartments. But how important is Easter for us? Are we celebrating it at all? Are we going to church and still have the consecration of the Passnack? The “Kroon” had interviewed all Austria – with sometimes surprising results.
Who doesn’t have them – beautiful childish memories of the search for hidden Easter eggs and chocolate bunnies in the garden or the house? But is Easter still up -to -date in times of decreasing number of Catholic and an increasingly faster rotating world? The Institute for Demoscopy & Data Analysis (IFDD) interviewed people who live in Austria in Austria in 1250 with regard to their traditions and customs between Palm Sunday and Easter Monday.
Don’t even go a third to church
Easter does not seem to have become unimportant. 62 percent celebrate in the smallest family, six percent with friends and twelve percent alone within their own household. 18 percent, however, do without a party. During celebration, the Easter egg search was determined for 56 percent, even 60 percent is decorated. While 49 percent enjoy palm kittens, but only 28 percent celebrate the church and 24 percent the Easter fire.
Land residents do without meat
Surprisingly, it is agreed on the subject of consumption: 83 percent want things to remain closed on Easter Sunday and Easter Monday. 58 percent eat traditional dishes such as spinach on Maundy Thursday. You are divided over meat: 48 percent do it without, and 48 percent don’t want that. Interesting: with 56 percent, more rural residents as city dwellers (32 percent) voluntarily abandon pork and Co.
Styrian and Carinthian keep Easter dedication loyalty
The clearest differences come to light when it comes to Easter. She definitely wants eleven percent for their dishes, 66 percent don’t think about it. However, out of bijters are styria, where 37 percent consider Easy or Easter -blessing as very important. It is also 33 percent in Carinthia, while that value in Vienna and Upper Austria is only three and only four percent in Burgenland.
Chocolate rolls and colored eggs instead of coupon shopping
69 percent of the Austrians have to hurry – they have not bought any gifts yet. These are usually chocolate rolls (60 percent), colored eggs (44 percent) or Easter festivities (35 percent) – nine percent buy vouchers and eleven percent flowers. 22 percent of the respondents do not want to give anything away. 23 percent do not want to spend more than 20 euros on it, eight percent donate more than 100 euros for gifts.
Terror risk for Easter markets keeps many away
The safety question concerns us after Great Britain had also warned about possible attacks in Austrian markets. 26 percent may want to visit one of the markets of the country, with the boys it is only 15 percent.
But: only 18 percent feel safe. After all, six percent considered the markets insured as too little. The research does not show whether this is the reason for the non-visit.
