Are you one to participate in the yearly extensive “Spring Cleaning”? If you aren’t it’s not a problem I was just curious. I actually personally do a “spring cleaning” twice a year which is right before Easter time and then again before winter hits, so probably mid November when all of the holiday decorations or elements come out. Well I was curious this year and decided to do a little research on the topic.
Did you know that if you follow this spring cleaning tradition it’s a tradition that doesn’t just go back a couple of decades or that it’s something the older generation invented to annoy the newer-that whole phrase our mother’s used to use about making sure our rooms were clean. Apparently it’s a long lasting tradition that began taking place or at least it began being noted as “Spring Cleaning” since the 1800s. According to the Washington Post, the biggest cleaning of the year was in the spring due to the layers of dust and grime that was left behind from the winter season. However, it’s also more than that, it’s also a religious tradition that dates back to Jewish customs during Passover!
So something we look at a mediocre or minimal is linking us to not only our past history but also to that of numerous religious cultures! You’re probably thinking how korny is this or it’s not even an important topic-but seriously how many of you actually knew that!? I sure as heck didn’t so it was some interesting random information I never realized. I know random and irrelevant but still thought to share!
