Easter (written by Sabrina)

Easter is next to christmas and pentecost, one of the main Christian festivals in the year. We celebrate the resurrection of Christ. Some families have a cake in shape of a lamp on Easter morning for breakfast, the so-called “Passover”. Then the Christian families usually go to church. In the afternoon, Easter baskets are hidden in the house or in the garden of the parents (the "Easter Bunny") 

At my home, it usually our whole family (aunts, uncles, cousins​​, etc. ...) is invited. Then the chidren look for the Easter baskets. Especially for the little kods who still believe in the easter bunny, it is always an adventure. When all nests were found, there is always a feast. Usually we have a cold roast pork with side dishes. But the hard-boiled brightly painted eggs may not be missed. Then mostly the so-called "Eierpeckn" take place, which is a tradition in Austria. Easter Monday is also still a holiday.
In Austria Easter starts for Christian already on Good Friday, the dying day of Christ. But for most families, Easter is just a festival where you get small gifts. Sadly, some children today don’t know exactry why we celebrate Easter.
