so why can't SC have an Easter update. They didn't have one last year and they have a winter/christmas update so why not have a couple of egg piles spawn on the lawn or have a 1 gem resourse boost speacial.

Easter affects less people than christmas does. Maybe something really small but otherwise they should work on something else
Easter is also a much more religious holiday for folks than Christmas. Lots of non Christians put up a tree, buy gifts, tell their kids about santa, etc...not too many non Christians celebrate Easter.
there a giant creepy bunny that hops around ;)
I get that there are eggs and bunnies and what not, but really it's not that widely celebrated. Nothing like Christmas.Quote:

Putting Easter is like putting Chinese New Year in the game. It's not global enough (same reason there's no thanksgiving). In fact, even Halloween is "Ghost Birthday Party" in my culture...
So I don't think we will get this kind of update.
HEY CHINESE NEW YEAR IS WHERE I DRESS LIEK A DRAGON..... DON'T HATE BRO *jk*Quote:

I think they should add a hidden Easter Egg... They don't say its there... just put it in.
As the son of a Jew and a Catholic - turned atheist. I fully support an Easter holiday 1 gem boost special! And if they wanna throw in a couple bunnies, or let my Golems / Pekkas rise from the dead I fully support the idea of holiday boosts. Even if its not a holiday I celebrate.
Yes, it's something small, but hey, it gives us extra stuff and makes the game a tad more interesting. Maybe we could have an Easter Egg Hunt:D
From what i've read on this post people arent fully understanding the meaning of the 2 holidays. They are both christian holidays celebrating the life, death and resurrection. If you celebrate Christmas you should know the meaning and know that Easter was created from the events that started the Christmas holiday. So if there wouldnt be an event for Easter then there shouldnt be an event for Christmas as they are both pertaining solely towards the Christian religion. Just my thoughts

Now we're working on Easter being about eggs, bunnies, peeps, chocolate, and baskets but we're not quite there yet.
When the rest of the world catches up, perhaps SC will add it too.
Easter isn't that big of a holiday....I base updates off what television networks make holiday specials from that a lot of people actually watch...judge me.
The meaning of Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus and to be thankful for all that he has done for us, the same goes for Easter. So celebrating one without the other is just ignorance with respect to the meaning of what you are even celebrating.Quote:

Yeah most or a majority. roughly 2.2 billion people in the world (31.50%) are christian which in all religions is a majority, celebrate the birth of Jesus.Quote:

No clue why you are like this one here and dont deserve any of the respect you've gotten on the forums and you just troll and try to spark arguments. Dont care about your comments so you can respectfully keep them to your self.
That is, however, far from a majority of all people.Quote:

I think, to commemorate this prison island of misfits' holiday, Supercell should make it impossible to raid if you fly a flag from either of said countries, and any clan claiming that nationality, no wars for the Month of April.
HAPPY ANZAC DAY!
I'm not sure people in other countries who probably have never heard of this would enjoy this. Nice idea though. Happy Anzac DAy.Quote:

To those that celebrate both, easter is by far a more religiously important holiday. Christmas is just more popular 'cause presents
That's a full-blooded "Merican right there.Quote:

I heard Halloween was originally the day where the evil spirits traveled across the world, so people dressed up like spirits, and the demons flying above them wouldn't notice the differenceQuote:

And who doesn't love a 1 gem boost! XD

Easter on the other hand does not - it is a christian practice (although obviously others aren't going to have an objection of stuffing their faces with chocolate) Muslims another large religion do not celebrate it as it is one of the fundamental differences between the two religions yes they believed there was a prophet called Jesus but they do not believe he died on the cross. Therefore to avoid a political/religious debacle I think the advertisement of such an event should be avoided. Not saying they can't do something else instead like 'It's spring hollidays.' or 'it's harvest time, time to farm!'
Why don't we just have a Spring Event, unrelated to any religion?
Very euro-centric indeed (or christianity-centric, whatever you want to call it). Thats like saying "If we didn't have Taoism we wouldn't have Chinese New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival and Lantern Festivial, the three most popular holidays. We basically would have no holidays" :facepalm:Quote:

Side note: since I have been exposed to a lot of Western culture, I understand these holidays a lot more than most non-Christians in my neighbourhood. The other day, I remember that my neighbor was suprised when I told him the history of Santa Claus because he thought Santa Claus was some sort of Christian angel/god/spirit. I realised just how isolated my country had been for the past few decades.
Easter is pretty much unknown to most people here. The thought of a giant rabbit giving eggs in a basket is just sooo confusing to the non-Christians here. I actually didnt know that Easter had something to do with the resurrection of Jesus until I read this thread. I thought it was another wierd Western holiday like Halloween or Valentine's Day.
I think that OP wants an event in the top half of the year instead of having two holidays back-to-back (kind of) near the end. A Spring Event would be very confusing and would be question what it is. Thus, this doesn't really work. If we can find a holiday that is global and isn't so religious, we might be able to get it in.Quote:

Proably not. Santa Claus was a folk legend from Scandinavia that got mixed in with Christmas throughout the ages, so many the Easter bunny went though the same thing. I remember my High school Human Geography teacher saying that Easter included elements of a Spring festival (with bunnies and eggs) of some pagan culture in Europe.Quote:
