Happy Easter!!!!

Yes, here in the Philippines we celebrated easter Sunday and it 's usually fall on Sunday and that day people should wake up early to catch the early mass and during the mass there is a special presentation. I dont have any idea about the relationship between a rabbit laying dyed egg.. but I dont think it is not lame because people here practicing that tradition like egg hunting etc.

Hi All. I had never heart about this holiday before reading this lesson. Even in western films and TV shows, we barely talk about Easter. The lesson gives us an idea about how it seems to be but what I want is to know what's the ROOT of this habit and when and where it was celebrated the first time.

Hello Everybody!

 I want to tell you about Easter for those who has different religions and have no idea about this event.

First off all Easter is a religious celebration. Easter is the event when Jesus crucifixion took place, This it happened on the day of Friday, I mean today. After his death he was laid in a grave, he was burried and on Sunday he was no more in his grave. He ressurected. This has a symbol. It symbolise that, Jesus was crucifixed to realease the mankind from sins. So we consider that he sacrificed himself for us.

This is the religious happening.

Easter is celebrated in different ways in different countries and regions. So I can tell you about the habits from my country, Romania.

People dye eggs for Easter, tidy their homes, cook a lot of special foods. On the first day of Easter, Sunday they go to church, and after that everybody go home and have the lunch with their families. On the second day, Monday the boys and mans goes to the familiar girls and relatives homes with perfumes, they say a short poem, than they sprinke the girls with perfume:))In exchange the girls are offering colored eggs to them, and invites them to have a drink, to eat cakes and others. This day is preferable for boys, because they gather in small groups, goes from one house to other, just they drink and eat, and have fun everywhere, For the girls it;s not so much fun, because they have to stay all day in house waiting for sprinklers. I know it may sound weird, but thats the way it is here:))

 So, I hope I could help to imagine this event.

Have a great weekend, and for the christians Happy Easter!!!

I'm not too religious person however I do like Easter for two or three reasons.

This is a good occassion to meet almost all members of your family. 

When it's Easter time, I feel spring is coming very very fast, everything is getting green again:)

And of course, I have a few days off work so I can chill out.

Bad sides? Hmmm…there are some. For example, tidying up, and Easter Monday is dangerous for girls, they can get all soaked through then! Be careful this year girls!

yea,i'm a Chinese, As is konwn to ous all The spring festival is gamous in the world.

In Poland we take to the basket eggs, sausage, chocolate bunnies and go to the church to consecrate this, on holy suterday. Then we eat all of this in holy sunday morning. But in friday we have big fast and we can't eat very much – only three times in day. And I'm so hungry now :(

I celebrate Easter too, it's very enjoyable.  On Easter we day eggs, we have chocolate bunnies, chocolate eggs but we doesn't have egg hunt. We visited family, friends have parties and children getting chocolate sweets it's really nice.

everyday in afternoon. I usually walk into beach sea and I swim. best interesting.I'm looking girffriendly

ıve heard ıt but ı don't know what is history of easter… anyway it's interesting!

We have Easter in Russia too, but it is Orthodox Christian holiday. It is more religious holiday. We celebrate Easter two weeks
later than Catholics. We dye eggs too, but we have no 
bunnies, chocolate eggs, egg hunt an so on.
In Russia people go to the church, cook Easter cake,
dye eggs at Easter day.
We also have eggs fights. You need to choose one 
boiled egg. Than two people knock each other eggs. You win if your egg is safe.

To celebrate Easter is really funny and enjoyable :) those who doesnt know anything about it, but are interested I'd advise to see Lithuanian Easter Eggs (they are the main thing at this holiday,lots of games with them and etc…)->

 We have winter and summer holiday here in China. I have heard of the Easter, but we never celebrate it . I also don't expect to celebrate this festival at all. Because we have our own traditional festivals.
