Transcript EASTER TRADITIONS AND SYMBOLS IN GREAT BRITAIN

The symbol of Easter
is an Easter Bunny,
a happy rabbit with
a basket of
chocolate eggs. He
brings these eggs to
children on Easter
Sunday.
 On Easter
Sunday
morning kids
go out and look
for the eggs. It’s
a very exciting
egg hunt.
 For these reason
chocolate bunnies
are very popular
in Great Britain ,
but chocolate
eggs, too.
 Kids take a
basket to
collect their
eggs during
the Easter egg
hunt.
English children
like coloring and
decorating eggs
for Easter. Eggs
are very important
because they
mean spring and
new life.
 Kids and
parents make a
very nice
decoration: they
put branches in
a vase and hang
eggs on them
 At Easter people use
to wear special hats.
They are called
bonnets. The
bonnets are always
new. In some British
primary schools they
organise an “Easter
bonnet Parade”
where the best
bonnet wins a prize.
 In Britain , the
Thursday before
Easter Sunday,
the Queen goes
to Westminster
Abbey and she
gives money to
some poor
people.
On this day people eat
“Hot Cross Buns”.
These are small loaves
of sweet bread with
fruit and spices and
they have a cross on
top. They are best
hot.
Another Easter
tradition is “eggrolling”. People
decorate eggs with
different colours,
then they take the
eggs to the top of a
hill and the eggs
roll down. The first
egg to get to the
foot of the hill, is
the winner.
