Easter eggs
Chocolate eggs are given to children. The eggs are either hollow or
have a filling, and are usually covered with brightly coloured silver
paper.
Easter Biscuits
Easter Biscuits are sometimes called "Cakes", and are eaten on
Easter Sunday. They contain spices, currants and sometimes
grated lemon rind.
Simnel cake .
The Simnel cake is baked for tea, and is a rich fruitcake covered
with a thick layer of almond paste (marzipan). A layer of marzipan
is also traditionally baked into the middle of the cake.
Eleven balls of marzipan are placed around the top to represent
the eleven true disciples (excluding Judas).

continue with traditional celebrations in the street…..
IN SPAIN…
Most of the people go out to the street to enjoy special events, uniques in our
country. The most popular event is the procession.
In this peculiar event, where many people watch figures representing the
principal chapters of the Jesuschriste Passion…

Spain we do the same, but many people celebrate Easter with other
popular traditions like….
Morris Dancing
Morris dancing is a traditional English form of folk dance which is also
performed in other English-speaking countries such as the USA and
Australia. The roots of morris dancing seem to be very old, probably
dating back to the Middle Ages.
In the dance men dress up in costumes with hats and ribbons and bells
around their ankles. They dance through the streets and one man often
carries an inflated pigs bladder on the end of a stick. He will run up to
young women in the street and hit them over the head with the pigs
bladder, this is supposed to be lucky (men)!

11. Easter egg hunt….
Although the tradition is to use dyed or painted chicken eggs, a
modern custom is to substitute chocolate eggs, or plastic eggs
filled with confectionery such as jelly beans. These eggs can be
hidden for children to find on Easter morning, which may be left
by the Easter Bunny. They may also be put in a basket filled with
real or artificial straw to resemble a bird's nest.
