Different Celebrations of Easter

As being a ‘freak’ who never celebrate Easter here, I asked several friends of their way to spend such a special day.

Nathalie(FR) We search for the chocolate eggs put in the garden. My brother and I even compete on who finds more eggs. That’s really intersting. Also, the bell that can fly brings the chocolates eggs in the garden. My friend even asked me whether did I seek eggs in Oslo!(Laugh out lout) But I’ve heard that it is the bunnies put the eggs in the garden.

Ester(HU) In the morning, boys pour cold water on girls head. My borther always do this to me when I still in my dream (an angry face). Then, girls will give back food or gift. (Alice:It’s not fair!!!) Yeah, but it’s our tradition. After the rabbit comes…I don’t know why it is “the rabbit comes”. However, children will go to the garden to find eggs, under the leaves or in the corner. People also paint eggs.

When being asked that how people celebrate Easter, a boy from Kosovo said he’s Muslim and they never celebrate Easter. So interesting. Even if everyone is enjoying their holiday, but different people have different view and tradition on the same thing. Culture differs from culture, but they are not contrary in most situation.
