French Tradition: PÂques
Pâques or Easter in English is a religious festival and is one of the most important holidays in France, it has now become a traditional gathering for French families despite their religious affiliation.
The word ‘pâques’ in French comes from the Latin word ‘pascua’ meaning food which itself comes from the Hebrew word ‘pessah’ meaning passing way (or passage).
Pâques in France therefore has many different meanings to it. Interestingly enough, the French distinguish between the Jewish and Christian festival of Easter with grammar (of course!) The Jewish festival is referred to as ‘la Paque juive’ in the singular, but the Christian festival is usually called ‘les fêtes chrétiennes de Pâques’ or more simply ‘Pâques’ in the plural.
