People spend Easter on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after March 21st. More people go
to church on Easter Sunday than at any other time of the year.

fun on each of them. One thing that some people like to do on Easter is to dress up in fine, new clothes and walk with their families on one of the
main streets. This is called the "Easter parade(游行)". People like to see what others are weari
ng and they also want the others to see their own fine clothes.
A very old tradition on Easter is to give children a basket full of candy. Parents often hide the basket
so that the children have the f

Sometimes the city will have all the children come to a big park for an egg hunt. Early in the morning
people who work in the park hide eggs and pieces of candy. They put them in trees, behind rocks or in
other places where children have to look for them.
