Easter is a Christian tradition celebrating the resurrection of Christ and is considered the most important celebration in the Christian calendar, but for a country like New Zealand that over the past few years Easter has become less about faith and more about chocolate eggs and bunny rabbits! It is simply a lovely long weekend with plenty of sweet treats! Good Friday is the Friday before Easter and this year Easter is on March the 25th. On Good Friday It is a public holiday so there is no school and work.
Easter is when you get some chocolate from the Easter bunny and some people have treasure hunts. The custom of giving eggs at Easter celebrates new life. Christians remember that Jesus, after dying on the cross and the cross is on the hot cross bun. For Christians the egg is a symbol of Jesus. For Easter we have a Easter egg hunt and we get lots of yummy eggs when we compete it. The Easter bunny does vist our house and gives us very yummy eggs for breakfast.
