Easter is a day of great fun and excitement. Their day begins with baskets of candies on their bed-sides left by the Easter Bunny. Since rabbits and hares give birth to a large number of litter in the early spring, these became the symbols of fertility. Besides leaving the candies and toys on their beds, the Easter Bunny also hides the eggs which the children had decorated earlier that week. Hence, children hunt for eggs all around the house. To make hunting more fun, people hold an Easter egg hunt contest in which the child who finds the most eggs wins a prize. Besides these, exchanging Easter gifts in India is also a significant part of this joyous celebration.
The annual event of Easter is celebrated with a lot of pomp and show and there are several customs accompanying it. A special prayer service is held at all Churches on the occasion of this festival and attended by many. A very interesting tradition of this occasion is the hiding of Easter eggs, which are chocolate eggs. The eggs are hidden all over the lawn and children run around with baskets looking for them. The Easter Bunny is another popular fictional character who, like Santa Claus, brings gifts for good children. Easter is a declared government holiday in many countries and a holiday for followers of Christianity.
The common elements used while celebrating easter include the Eucharist (another ceremony of the Christians commemorating the Last Supper), baptisms, feasting, and greetings of "Christ is risen!" and "He is risen indeed!" Traditionally people buy new clothes for Easter which they wear to church. Spending time and serving those we love is the spirit of Easter. This holy festival is celebrated especially with candies, cakes, chocolates, etc along with happy music in the background. One more vital feature of Easter is an egg. The egg is a symbol of resurrection for the Christian community, so well-decorated eggs and egg hunting have become very important at Easter.
