Easter is a very popular celebration in England and it has got a lot of traditions. For example, it’s very popular to hide eggs: parents hide them in the garden on Easter Sunday and then, they make their little children look for them.They tell them that the Easter Bunny has hidden them there. That tradition comes from many centuries ago, when people hid the eggs during Lent because they couldn’t eat them. Then, after Lent, they boil and decorate the eggs and they give them to each other as a symbol of the happiness of Easter.There is a similar tradition,called the egg hunt, that is the same but a lot of children look for eggs in a big place.
It’s common to eat hot cross buns on Good Friday: they are buns with a cross on the top that remind us that Jesus died on the cross.There is a popular race too: the egg and spoon race. There, children make the eggs roll down a hill and whoever’s egg goes the farthest without breaking , wins. This race is celebrated each year on the White House hill.
So,as you can see, there are a lot of ways to celebrate Easter in England or USA, because in Spain, we have the celebration of Holy Week.
