Easter is an important holiday in the west, which falls on the first Sunday after the full moon at the vernal equinox every year. It is a Christian festival to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus on the third day after his crucifixion.
Easter eggs are symbols of spring, meaning the beginning and resurrection of new life. There is a traditional custom of exchanging and eating eggs during Easter. Traditional Easter eggs are made of real eggs, mostly eggs. After people cooked the eggs, they painted colorful patterns on them with watercolors. Bright colors represent spring and light, but now this kind of eggs has been replaced by hollow chocolate eggs.
The British also have an "egg rolling" game at Easter. Participants roll their eggs down the hill and win if they don't break when they reach the bottom of the hill. To this day, this tradition continues in many parts of northern England, and the competition is held to see who can roll the egg farthest on the slope.
What to eat at Easter?
1, hot cross bread: Many families in Britain will eat hot cross bread for breakfast on Easter Day. Easter is Good Friday, and the cross pattern on the cross bread represents the crucified cross, which also symbolizes that he died instead of the sin of the world. Usually people start eating cross bread on Good Friday and eat it until Easter.
2. Heavy oil fruitcake: British people love snacks, and heavy oil fruitcake is a must-have snack for British people on Easter Day. This cake, like other traditional English festival cakes, is dense and stuffed with dried fruits, with a thick layer of almond cream on the surface. Moreover, this cake often has 1 1 balls made of almond paste, which represents our disciples.
3. Roasted lamb: On Easter Day, roasted lamb is the main course of the British. The custom of eating roast sheep in Britain can be traced back to the earliest Jewish Passover. They kill lambs on Passover Day, and roast them and eat them with bitter herbs in bread. This custom is to pray that the angels of God will not bring any disaster when they fly over their homes.
