Easter is a very grand festival in the west and the most important festival in Germany except Christmas. People not only have dinner with family or friends on Easter, but also give each other delicious chocolates and eggs. Many time-honored customs are also an important part of Easter, such as coloring Easter eggs and looking for eggs. These customs have a history of hundreds of years.
Christians believe that Easter symbolizes rebirth and hope, to commemorate the day when Jesus Christ was resurrected on the third day after he was crucified between 30 and 33 AD. American food at Easter is also very distinctive, mainly mutton and ham.
Easter custom:
There is usually a grand religious parade at Easter. The marchers wore robes, carried crosses and marched barefoot. They dressed up as Christian historical figures and sang carols to celebrate. Nowadays, the festival parade has lost its strong religious color. The festival parade is full of festive atmosphere and has strong folk and local characteristics.
In the United States, there are clowns wearing jeans and walking on stilts in the parade, and there are also lively and lovely cartoon characters Mickey Mouse. In Britain, parades mainly introduce local history and customs. The paraders dress up as Scottish bagpipes and court guards, attracting many tourists.
