Do you celebrate Easter in your country? It's not celebrated in Japan but in Germany it's a very important holiday. It's one of my favorite holidays actually because it's in spring, so usually the weather is nice and the flowers are in full bloom.
In Germany it's a custom to hide Easter eggs for the children. These eggs are very colorful, so they are easier to find in the grass.
This is what it looks like when we color eggs the day before Easter Sunday in my family:
When the color is dry, we put cute stickers on them:
And then we hide them for the kids.
Easter in Germany is a lot of fun and obviously involves eating lots of eggs. :) There are many more traditions of course and they vary depending on the area where you live.
What's your favorite holiday in your home country?
