Easter is a spring holiday. It is a festival of new life. It is full of customs, traditional food and spring flowers like daffodils.

Easter isn't on the same date each year. It is on the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring. This year it is on the 12th of April.

In Britain, Easter starts on Good Friday. Hot cross buns are typical cakes that people eat on this day. They are likes bread rolls with spices and raisins and they always have a cross shape on top.

For most British children, Easter means chocolate Easter eggs. They eat them on Easter Sunday. The shops are full of bright Easter decorations with chicks, rabbits and flowers.

At home, people paint and decorate chickens' eggs. They put them in baskets and give them as presents. Some families hide the eggs and the children look for them. This is called an "Easter egg hunt". Sometimes children take part in an egg race. They take spoon, put eggs in them and run. The child who finishes first and doesn't drop the egg wins.

Anyway, it is a holiday of joy and happiness. So, HAPPY EASTER to YOU!!!
