Dear Russian friend!
My name is Stephen Wooding. | live in the main Welsh town Cardiff. The citizens of my town are rather conservative and keep a lot of traditions and customs. We celebrate different holidays and festivals, but my favorite one is Easter.
Easter is on the first Sunday after the first full moon in spring. That’s why it's on a different date each year.
The word “ "comes from “Eostre”, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring. Christians celebrate the on Easter Sunday, many people celebrate the beginning of spring. So it is often and celebration. The Friday before Easter Sunday and the Monday after are in the UK. On the Friday before Easter people in England enjoy the traditional Good Friday breakfast of .
One of the oldest spring symbols in the world is the . Eggs are a symbol of a new life.
The eggs are hard-boiled and people them in various colours. Nowadays people often give each other Easter , usually hollow and filled with sweets.
Bunnies,, lambs and flowers (especially and daffodils) are associated with Easter because they are born in the spring.
