Hello, everyone. I, d like to tell you a little about Easter Day.

Easter is one of the important festivals in Western countries. It comes at the

beginning of spring, usually on a day between March 22nd and April 25th . 3 / 7

Before Easter Day, people will colour eggs and give them to each other. They

believe “All life comes from an egg.” Then on Easter Day children wake up and find

that the Easter Rabbit leaves them baskets of sweets. He also hides the coloured eggs

around the house. Children look for the eggs and the child with the most eggs wins a

prize.

For Easter, coloured eggs, rabbits, and flowers all mean rebirth and new life.
