“Easter Forget-me-Not”

Forget-me-not - Old favourite of spring flowers growing in the garden. It carries its meaning in its name. The symbol of loyalty, love and remembrance. Popular motif of folk art.

Do not forget! – Therefore, you get the Easter egg, which is often decorated with a reminiscent subtitle, name, date saying "to remember.”

Forget-me-not – The little blue flower is a symbol of divine providence: it culminates in the mystery of the resurrection.

Do not forget! - The essence of Easter mystery is the resurrection. At Easter we celebrate the resurrection and suffering of Jesus Christ. Life from death. In the eternal cycle of nature in spring everything is revived, all is "resurrected". Life will spring from death.

Our little exhibition reminds us traditions of the Church related to rebirth in spring just like the little flower 'forget-me-not' does it. Material from the Balaton Museum in Keszthely and the Thúry György Museum of Nagykanizsa deal with Easter traditions in the Balaton, Somogy Zala County region.
