Easter is a big deal in the U.S but I don’t think it’s that big in
California – at least not in Los Angeles. I hear way more about Passover (nice Jewish holiday) than Easter. BUT
Easter is big for the kids nationwide. There are a lot of activities for the
little ones such as painting eggs and Easter Egg Hunt.
Oh! And The Easter Egg Roll game is a MUST.
The game is a race, where children push an egg through the grass with a long
handled spoon. In the United States, it’s
part of the annual events held at the White House. It happens every Easter
Monday. It’s open to the public and it's free.
The special dish for Easter is baked Ham (I love it by the way), potato
and vegetables. Hot cross Buns are another demanding recipe and it’s
traditionally eaten on Good Friday. Like most countries, Easter symbols like
bunnies and Easter Eggs are everywhere.
The popular Easter symbols were first
brought in by the German settlers who arrived in the Pennsylvania Dutch country
during the 1700s. Eventually, American people accepted these crafts and made
these symbols a vital part of their Easter celebrations.
As a part of Easter traditions in the US, sunrise services are held and
the prime motive is to include various Christian religious groups in this
event. Easter parties are also a common sight during this holiday time where
people come, feast and make merry. Like most places in the world, pre-Lent
carnivals also form an integral part of Easter celebration in the USA.
A fun fact: Easter wedding is a
popular trend in USA. People usually like to their tie nuptial knot on this
propitious day.
I like Easter and the history behind it.
Happy Easter, everyone!
