    EASTER

    - some information

    Easter is a joyful spring festival which celebrates


    the rebirth of Jesus.
    Christians and many other people around the
    world celebrate Easter every year.
    Pagan traditions give us the English word
    "Easter" which comes from the word "Eostre".
    The English word Easter comes from
    the Anglo Saxon name for the month of April,
    which was known as "Eostremonath"

    The modern English term Easter developed from the


    Old English word astre or ostre (IPA: [stre, eostre]
    ), which itself developed prior to 899.

    The name refers to Eostur-monath (Old English "ostre


    month"), a month of the Germanic calendar attested
    by Bede, who writes that the month is named after
    the goddess ostre of Anglo-Saxon paganism.

    In Britain children have two weeks off


    school when it is Easter. They finish
    school a few days before the Easter
    weekend.

    It is traditional to eat
    warm 'hot cross buns'
    on Good Friday .

    The cross on top of


    the buns symbolizes
    and reminds
    Christians Jesus
    death on the cross.

    People have breakfast


    with the family.

    Boiled eggs are


    traditionally served at
    breakfast.

    At home, everyone gives each other


    chocolate eggs.

    In England children get big ones filled with


    sweets.

    Around 80 million chocolate eggs are eaten


    each year in Britain.

    Roast lamb is the


    traditional meat for
    the main meal on
    Easter Day. It is
    served with mint
    sauce and
    vegetables.

    The traditional Easter


    pudding is
    custard tarts.

    After dinner children play the game Easter Egg


    Hunt. Parents/adults hide small chocolate eggs
    in the garden or at home and children try to find
    them.

    Later in the afternoon people have a special Easter Cake


    for tea its Simnel cake.
    The Simnel cake is a rich fruitcake covered with a thick
    layer of almond paste (marzipan). A layer of marzipan is
    also traditionally baked into the middle of the cake.
    Eleven balls of marzipan are placed around the top to
    represent the eleven true disciples (excluding Judas).

    Simnel cake

    Egg rolling is very


    popular in England
    and is an Easter
    Monday sport.
    Hard-boiled eggs are
    rolled down a hill.
