EASTER IN BRITAIN

Easter is the most important festival in the Christian church year. It begins with Good Friday. The Romans
killed Jesus Christ in Jerusalem about two thousand years ago. Christians believe in the Resurrection of Jesus
Christ on the third day after his Crucifixion.
Why is Easter on a different day each year? This is because Easter Sunday is the Sunday after the first full
moon after the first day of spring (21 March).
Easter eggs, Easter Rabbit (Easter Bunny) and sending Easter cards are tradition not only in Britain. The
cards are often in green or yellow or show baby animals, because lots of animals are born in spring. This
tradition goes back to the 19th century.
But there are also other important traditions.

traditional kind! There are many different Easter egg traditions around the world.
In the UK, as well as many other countries, lots of people take part in Easter egg hunts, and go hunting for
