Easter In the USA

Easter is a catholic holiday in the United States just like it is here in Spain. However, there are a few traditions that even non-religious families celebrate. The first is the dying or coloring of eggs known as "Easter Eggs" which is used to symbolize the tomb of Jesus. Before Easter Sunday, friends and families get together to dye eggs to make colorful and pretty. Although this is traditionally a religious activity, it is very fun for young children and has become more of a tradition celebrating spring which has arrived.

Here are 2 examples of Easter Eggs:



The second tradition is called an Easter Egg Hunt. This is also a fun activity for young children in which parents hide the (sometimes visible) Easter Eggs from the kids. The kids then find and collect the hidden eggs. It happens both inside and outside of houses but is most common outside in parks and large areas.

Below are a few photos of an Easter Egg Hunt:

  3. Hello everybody! :) I'm Ana Mª of 4ºB.
    The Easter of Roumania and United States have things in common, in Roumania you must colour the eggs in different colours but it's prefer to do it in red colour, because symbolize the tomb of Jesus,too!
    The other tradition doesn't exist in Roumania!:P
    I love the Easter, I reckon this is one of the best tradition in Roumania. :D
