Easter 2020 

Easter is a Christian festival which celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The holiday falls on April 12 this year. It is celebrated all across the globe with joy. Easter is celebrated in France, America, Germany, Bermuda, Spain, Chios, Ethiopia, Italy, New York etc. Most Christians refer to the week before Easter as "Holy Week".

It is known as La Pâques in French, Pascha in Latin, Paskha in Greek, Paaske in Danish, Pasen in Dutch and Paskah in Indonesian. By tradition, people treat chocolate eggs and bunnies to little children and gifts are given to little children and are supposed to be from the Easter Bunny. Many Easter egg hunts are organised in family gatherings and children have to find plastic eggs around the house with presents inside them.

On Easter, many people go to church in their formal clothes and prayer and do service there. There are also festive family meals organised and many family gatherings happen. In countries where Christianity is a state religion, or where the country has a large Christian population, Easter is often a public holiday. As Easter is always a Sunday, many countries in the world also have Easter Monday as a public holiday. Good Friday, which occurs two days before Easter Sunday, is also a public holiday in many countries.

In Germany, trees are decorated with decorated easter eggs called Easter Egg Trees. It’s also a custom in Austria, Hungary, Poland, Ukraine, Moravia and the Czech Republic. On Good Friday, the skies of Bermuda are filled with different colours because of the Bermuda Kite Festival. It is said that the kites are a celebration of the ascent of Christ. Bermudians also eat fish cakes when it’s Easter. In Verges, local people celebrate Easter by having Holy Festival Week or Semana Santa. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church celebrates Easter or Fasika one or two weeks after churches in the West and it is considered to be more important than Christmas. Families eat spicy chicken stew, flat bread and honey wine. In Italy, spectacular firework displays are organised. In New York, the Easter Parade begins with the decoration of sanctuaries in churches with Easter flowers.
