Easter is a Christian festival which celebrates the death of Jesus Christ. The reason why we have good Friday is because it was the day Jesus was put on the cross and Easter Sunday is the day he rose from the dead. The way I celebrate Easter is by getting up early and trying and find the Easter eggs before anybody else does. Then we eat them. After that we go to my grandparents house in Auckland and eat more eggs. But the thing we do most Easter is go to my gran and pops for a family Easter egg hunt and have an Easter egg pudding which is really good!
The reason why we have Easter eggs is because for Christians the egg is a symbol of Jesus as when they are cracked open they stand for the empty pit. The reason we have hot cross buns is because some Christians fast on Good Friday. This helps them remember the sacrifice Jesus made for them on the day of crucifixion. It is also traditional to eat warm hot cross buns on Good Friday.
