    Easter

    The bunny is a very important symbol for the Easter holiday in England. He
    "hides" eggs and presents around the house, which the children look for on
    Sunday morning. Easter is celebrated by exchanging eggs, but also gifts. These
    can be money, clothes, chocolate and flower baskets

    Also, cross-shaped sweet fruit cakes are popular foods on Good Friday The
    English eat breakfast cakes on a Good Friday cake, decorated with a cross made
    of icing sugar, called "hot cross buns". They even have a song dedicated to
    cookies. Another Easter tradition is the egg race, which consists of throwing red
    eggs from a hill or a high place, and the winner is the one whose egg reaches
    the farthest or the one whose egg lasts unbroken.

    In some localities, on Shrove Tuesday, the last day before Lent, there are running
    competitions with pancakes full of pancakes. In the town of Olney, such competitions have
    been taking place for about 500 years.

    Traditional English Easter dishes

    English cuisine has prepared some specific recipes in celebration of the resurrection of Christ,
    the lamb steak being by far the favorite dish for Easter Sunday. A traditional dessert is the
    Simnel cake, a kind of cake that was originally given to mothers on the occasion of "Mother's
    Sunday", decorated with 11 spherical marzipan candies, representing the 11 faithful disciples
    of Jesus. Hot buns adorned with a cross (Hot Cross buns) symbolize the cross on which Jesus
    was crucified and are traditionally eaten on Good Friday, the anniversary of the Lord's death.
    It seems, however, that these cakes date back to Saxon times, the bun representing the moon,
    and the cross its four squares. According to a superstition, cross cakes can be kept for a year
    without being touched by mold. Such buns, strengthened over time, were used as talismans to
    protect houses from fire, and were also taken by sailors when they went on races to protect
    themselves from shipwrecks.
    Easter traditions and customs you didn't know about

    The Easter holiday means, most of the time, moments spent in the family, with the loved
    ones, sitting around a rich table where red eggs, Easter and cakes are never missing. If in
    Romania the lamb is sacrificed on the occasion of the Nativity, and the rabbit brings gifts,
    totally different traditions and customs take place in the world. Australians are waiting for
    the kangaroo Bilby, while in the UK police are honking groups of men to call them in the big
    hall of the local court. The unique tradition takes place during the Hocktide Festival, in the
    British town of Hungerford. Of all the men gathered in the courtroom, two are chosen, who
    will walk the streets of the city and will be forced to give an orange to all women, in
    exchange for a kiss.
