Easter is very important in the west. In many countries it is the most important except Christmas.
People spend Easter on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after March 21st. More people go
to church on Easter Sunday than at any other time of the year.
People love all holidays and usually find a way to have
fun on each of them. One thing that some
people like to do on Easter is to dress up in fine, new clothes and walk with their families on one of the
main streets. This is called the "Easter parade(游行)". People like to see what others are weari
ng and
they also want the others to see their own fine clothes.
A very old tradition on Easter is to give children a basket full of candy. Parents often hide the basket
so that the children have the f
un of looking for it. Boys and girls believe that the Easter Bunny brings the
basket each year. The Easter Bunny is as important as Santa Claus.
Sometimes the city will have all the children come to a big park for an egg hunt. Early in the morning
people who work in the park hide eggs and pieces of candy. They put them in trees, behind rocks or in
other places where children have to look for them.
At Easter time mother buys a lot of eggs. She boils them until they are hard. Coloring these eggs is
another Easter tradition. It is a nice tradition because all the family members gather around the table to
help. Having the family together is the nicest part of any holiday.
