Easter is coming
Easter
Easter is a
great holiday. People celebrate it in spring.
In Ukraine people make Easter baskets. They cook an Easter
cake. It is called ‘paska’ or ‘babka’. Ukrainian people paint eggs beautifully.
A coloured egg is called ‘pysanka’. They put one Easter cake, some sausage,
Easter eggs, some ham, some leaf lard, some butter, some cheese, some salt and
some horse-radish into their baskets. They put a candle too.
On Easter Sunday people go to church with their baskets,
give thanks to Christ, sing Easter songs. After that each family usually has a
holiday lunch or dinner. They give thanks to God, sing Easter songs, listen to
music and have fun. The children like to play with pysankas.
In England people like eating hot cross buns. They say at
Easter the Easter bunny brings coloured eggs.
