🐣Happy Easter!!🐣 How much do you know about British Easter traditions?! 🇬🇧
1. Easter Egg Hunts! 🥚
An Easter egg hunt typically takes place on Easter Monday morning. Adults hide small Easter eggs (usually chocolate eggs) and children must follow clues or hints to find them!
2. Egg painting! 🎨
Children paint and decorate eggs in loads of different ways, and the eggs symbolise rebirth and more specifically, the rebirth of Jesus!
3. Hot cross buns! 🍴
These are a delicious cakes filled with raisins (dried grapes) and covered in butter. They are eaten with a cup of tea, and the cross on the top symbolises Jesus’s cross.
4. Maypole Dancing! 🕺
In this tradition, a big pole with ribbons attached to it is put up, and dancers dance to live music in patterns.
5. The Easter Bunny! 🐇
On Easter Sunday, chocolate eggs are gifted and received, and children are told that the eggs are delivered by the EASTER BUNNY! This tradition comes from German folk stories , where a rabbit lays eggs and brings them to children if they have been good!
