Easter Is A Happy Time
Easter is a happy time in western countries like the UK and the USA.After Christmas,it is the most fun holiday.It began as an important religious (宗教的) festival,but for the non-religious it is also a special time.It is an official holiday,so most people visit their families or friends during Easter.
The most important Easter tradition is giving each other Easter eggs,because eggs are the symbol of new life.Traditionally people used to paint chicken eggs,but today they give each other chocolate eggs.
A fun game during the festival is the Easter egg hunt (搜尋).Parents hide chocolate eggs in the garden,and the children go out to hunt for them.what they find,they can eat!It's quite normal for children to feel sick after Easter weekend as a result of eating too much chocolate.
The date of Easter follows the cycle of moon.It is always sometime between late March and late April.This year Easter was on April 12th.
