Easter

What do you know about Easter? It's a great feast around the world, but depending on where you live, the way people celebrate it could be very different.

In some countries, like Spain, there is a great tradition of Christian celebrations, as you can see in the photo.

However, beyond the Catholic Church, there are more non-religion Easter traditions, which include symbols like the Easter eggs or the Easter bunny.

For example, throughout North America, Australia and parts of the UK, the Easter holiday has been partially secularized, so that some families participate only in the attendant revelry, central to which is (traditionally) decorating Easter eggs on Saturday evening and hunting for them Sunday morning, by which time they have been mysteriously hidden all over the house and garden.


Chocolate eggs have largely supplanted decorated eggs in Australia.

In North America, eggs and other treats are delivered and hidden by the Easter Bunny in an Easter basket which children find waiting for them when they wake up. Many families in America will attend Sunday Mass or services in the morning and then participate in a feast or party in the afternoon.


Tell us, please, how you celebrate Easter. Everybody knows there are lots of ways of celebrating it. I'd like to know how other cultures or religions celebrate it.

See you soon!
