Jesus Christ was killed on Friday. He was believed to have remained dead for three days and then to have reappeared to his followers. Easter Sunday marks his coming to life again, and is a day of quiet celebration. Although Christmas has become a very commercial (商业的) and almost international time of winter celebration, Easter remains a serious and less commercial festival. Lamb is often eaten, and baby chicks and eggs, which represent new life, are also eaten.
Hunting for Easter Eggs is a North American game for children at home on Easter Sunday. The older family members hide sweets and chocolates in the shape of eggs, rabbits and chickens and the children are allowed to search for and keep the ones they can find.
