Easter is always on Sunday .Easter
is a spring festival of new life. Schoolchildren and students in the United Kingdom have a
two-week holiday at Easter time.
In Britain, Easter starts on Good Friday. Hot
cross buns are typical cakes that that people eat on this day. They are like
bread rolls with spices and raisins and they always have a cross shape on top.
The symbols of Easter are eggs, rabbits and chickens, spring flowers and new
clothes. A special Easter tradition is painting Easter eggs. People turn hard-boiled
eggs into different colours. For most British children, Easter means chocolate
Easter eggs. Some families hide the eggs and the children look for them. This
is called an 'Easter egg hunt'. Sometimes children take part in an egg race.
They take spoons, put eggs in them and run. The child who finishes first and
doesn’t drop their egg wins.
