Easter
Easter is a festival in spring. (But
if you live in the south, like in
Australia or Brazil, it is in autumn.)
Many animals, such as birds and
sheep, have their babies in spring
! It is also the time of the year wh
flowers grow and the leaves on the en
trees come back. That is why
some people celebrate Easter: the
y are happy that life will start aga
after winter. in
For Christian and Jewish people,
Easter is a religious day.
Christians celebrate that Jesus cam
e to life again after he died.
Jewish people call Easter Passov
er.
Eggs are important at Easter. Ma
ny children play the Easter egg
hunt game. The Easter rabbit hides
some eggs in the house and the
garden. On Easter morning the chi
ldren look for the eggs.
Children also paint Easter eggs in
lovely colours. They give the egg
away as presents or play egg-rollin s
g competitions. The Easter egg roll
is fun! Who can roll an egg down
a hill without breaking it?
