Easter Sunday

Easter is the oldest and one of the most significant festivals of the Christian community that is celebrated to mark the resurrection and rebirth of Jesus Christ from the dead. It also marks the commencement of the spring season after the Lent period. Observed throughout the world with immense magnificence and grandeur, Easter is considered as a day of parties, gift-giving and moreover, the rise of the good from the evil. Easter is celebrated in England over a long week. The three most important days are Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. The main symbols of Easter and spring include bunnies and rabbits.


         The date of Easter in 2013 is March 31 for most Protestants and Catholics. This year for Eastern Orthodox Christians it is May 5th.  It is tradition to eat hot cross buns on Good Friday, as they symbolize the cross on which Jesus was crucified. On Easter Saturday, the Welsh decorate the graves of the family members and friends with flowers. Traditional dinner is prepared on Easter Sunday consisting of lamb, potatoes and lots of vegetables. People exchange Easter Eggs, Easter bread, hot cross buns and other gifts, such as clothes, chocolates or holidays packages, with one another. Easter bonnets or baskets are made that are decorated with things like daffodils. Easter bonnet competitions are also held and a large number of children participate in them. As a part of the tradition, the winner gets an Easter egg.
