Cascarones contain religious significance

To the editor:

While we enjoy the colorful Easter eggs called cascarones, let us remember to tell the children their significance. Their empty shell represents the empty tomb of our Lord Jesus. The colorful confetti inside represents the joyful celebration over Jesus Christ’s resurrection from the dead. Cascarones represent the good news of Easter: The Lord is risen! The Lord is risen indeed!
