How do you celebrate EASTER???

Easter is a religious event.People celebrate Jesus' rebirth on this date. In Brazil besides this, you can be surprised how people run to the supermarket to buy or ask someone to make chocolate Easter eggs. Children choose those they can find a little gift inside them. Well, Steven is going to write about Easter in Canada and I hope you can write about your country or city. See You and Happy Easter!

Easter in Canada is one of the two major religious holidays, the other of course being Christmas. The three major traditions are Easter egg decorating, Easter egg hunts and Easter dinner.

Egg decorating is usually done with dye, wax crayons and occasionally stickers. The eggs to be decorated are first hard boiled, cooking them inside the shell. If you wish to you can put a pattern on with wax crayons. When the egg is dyed the pattern will form a negative image, that is the shell will be its original white colour beneath the wax. Some decorating kits also come with stickers which can be applied to the egg after dying it.

Easter egg hunts are when parents typically hide chocolate eggs around the house, in Canada there is no guarantee that there will be warm weather for Easter so we can't always do it outside. There are many varieties of chocolate eggs, from your standard small eggs, Cadbury Creme Eggs, and Kinder Surprise eggs, Children will typically receive a chocolate rabbit from their parents.

Finally there is Easter dinner with family. The traditional meals will either be a ham, leg of lamb, or rack of lamb.
