What are the customs of Easter?

1, Easter eggs

Eggs are an important part of Easter. According to the custom, children will go to the garden with small baskets to look for eggs hidden by adults on Easter Day. For a long time, the egg has always been a symbol of life and the resurrection of Jesus after his death. In early Christianity, painting eggs, giving people away and eating eggs were common customs.

2. Easter Bunny

The saying that "rabbits bring Easter eggs" is unrealistic from a scientific point of view, but it is in line with the season. People regard rabbits as messengers of spring. Centuries ago, cocks and storks sent eggs, but today this mission is only undertaken by rabbits. And now eggs are not only real eggs, but also all kinds of chocolate eggs.

3, touch the egg game

Whoever can keep the eggs intact after the collision wins. This kind of "touching eggs" is a popular game in many foreign Easter breakfasts. This custom has no religious background at all.

4.easter mutton

Easter lamb originated from Jewish custom. They will slaughter a sheep at Passover to commemorate the Jewish ancestors who fled Egypt. Christianity also followed this custom, taking sheep as a tribute to commemorate Jesus who died for all. Nowadays, people usually bake cakes in the shape of sheep.

5. Cycling on Easter Day

Easter horseback riding is one of the most famous traditional Easter customs, which originated from Christianity. On Easter day, knights rode horses to spread the good news of Jesus' resurrection everywhere, and both riders and horses were blessed.
