EASTER
Easter is a very important Christian festivity. People celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his death. Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the full moon in March. This is between 22 March and 25 April.
In Britain and the United States it is usual to send Easter cards to friends and relatives.
To celebrate Easter and the arrival of spring almost everyone wears something new: a new dress, a new suit, new shoes.
Before easter day American and British children paint Easter eggs with brigth colours and designs. The egg is an ancient symbol of life and fertility.
At easter time there are chocolate eggs, chocolate bunnies and sugar eggs in all sweet shops.
