How Do You Celebrate Easter

Easter is the day on which Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Easter traditions vary from country to country, and can differ even within regions of the same country. However, there are a few Easter traditions that are celebrated around the world.

There are several of the most common ways to celebrate:

1. Decorate Easter eggs. Although the symbol of the egg is rooted in a pagan springtime fertility feast, Christians have adopted the egg as an Easter symbol that represents new life. In many areas of the world, people color and decorate hard-boiled eggs as part of their Easter celebrations.

2. Participate in an Easter egg hunt. Once the eggs are decorated, children search for eggs hidden throughout their homes or gardens. In some traditions, the Easter Bunny hides the eggs on Easter morning for the children to find later that day.

3. Celebrate with an Easter basket from the Easter Bunny. Like the egg, the rabbit was a symbol of fertility associated with the pagan festival of Easter. On the night before Easter, children would make nests from their bonnets and caps and leave them outside, where the Easter Hare would leave colorful eggs for them. Today, a common tradition is that the Easter Bunny brings baskets filled with candy to children on Easter morning.

4. Enjoy a traditional Easter dinner with family and friends.
