Easter

Easter is the time for holidays, festivals and a time for giving chocolate Easter eggs. But it means much more...

It is the oldest and the most important Christian Festival, the celebration of the death and coming to life again of Jesus Christ. There are various traditional Easter food that vary regionally.

Some customs that have become associated with this festivity include egg hunting, the Easter Bunny and Easter parades.

Easter Day in 2014 fell on Sunday 20 April.
