A Sunday between March 22 and April 25 This year Easter will be celebrated on Sunday April 11, 2024
On Easter Sunday children wake up to find that the Easter Bunny has left them baskets of candy
He has also hidden the eggs that they decorated earlier that week
Children hunt for the eggs all around the house
Neighborhoods and organizations hold Easter egg hunts, and the child who finds the most eggs wins a prize
Why we dye, or color, and decorate eggs is not certain
In ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and Persia eggs were dyed for spring festivals
In medieval Europe, beautifully decorated eggs were given as gifts
