People send nice Easter cards.
On Easter some cities have an Easter Day parade.
During Easter we can see colorful Easter eggs. Easter eggs are hand painted or dyed. Painting and dying Easter eggs is a lot of fun. The eggs are put into beautiful Easter baskets. Children have to find the Easter eggs that are hunt in the gardens. Another activity is an Easter egg roll. Egg rolling is very popular in England and the rest of the UK and is an Easter Monday sport. Hard-boiled eggs are rolled down a hill. Customs differ from place to place. The winner's egg may be the one that rolls the farthest, survives the most rolls, or is rolled between two pegs.
On Easter we see the Easter bunny. The Easter bunny brings Easter baskets filled with colored eggs, candy and toys to the homes of children on the night before Easter.
Children can eat chocolate Easter bunnies and jelly beans.
People also eat hot cross buns. They are traditionally eaten hot or toasted on Good Friday, with the cross standing as a symbol of The Crucifixion.
