id: 10053148

Easter is not only a religious holiday, but also a time when unique traditions begin to emerge in different parts of the world. In every country Easter has its own taste, color and atmosphere. Let's take a look at how the day is celebrated in different countries.

In the UK, the tradition is the “Easter egg hunt”. Egg hunting is not only a game for children, but also a symbol of rebirth and new life. In every home you can see decorated eggs hidden in the garden. They are often chocolate, and sometimes there are little surprises hidden inside the egg. This custom has become so popular that many cities organize real festivals dedicated to finding Easter eggs.

In Italy, Easter is a real gourmet feast. The main treat on the Easter table is “colomba” - Easter cake in the form of a dove. It is traditionally served with wine and fruit desserts. During festive meals, it is customary to get together with family and friends to share joy and merriment. In Sicily, Easter is also a time for street celebrations with colorful carnival processions.

Greece is also famous for its Easter traditions. Here on Easter it is customary to paint eggs red, symbolizing the blood of Christ, and arrange fun games with eggs. Easter in Greece is a time for large family gatherings and festive dinners, with roast lamb as the centerpiece. In addition, church bells are always ringing on this day, and every Greek is eager to congratulate their loved ones on the holiday.

In Australia, Easter also takes on unique features. In addition to the traditional Easter bunnies, children here are congratulated with “Easter kangaroos”! And Americans love to organize mass Easter egg hunts. In some cities, such as Washington, D.C., they organize real festivals with concerts, contests and traditional treats.

Every country brings something different to the celebration of Easter. It is a time not only for spiritual renewal, but also for sharing joy with loved ones. The important thing is that despite the differences, Easter remains a symbol of life, hope and love everywhere.
