common symbols such as bunny, eggs, and butterflies.

The word is “Easter” that to bring in festival is come from
“Eostre”, it is the name of spring god. It is the resurrection god because

The Easter story includes Maundy Thursday (the Last supper leading to the
Eucharist), Good Friday (the day on which Jesus was crucified) and Easter Day (the
day on which Jesus came back to life). It is a sad story because Jesus was killed.
However, the story has a very happy ending. This is Jesus came back to life and
visited his friends and followers once more. He did not die at all, but went back up
to heaven to be with God, his father. Many people prepare an Easter breakfast,
brunch or lunch with a range of seasonal and luxurious foods to share with family
members, friends or neighbors. The Easter’s food includes: boiled, steam and fried
eggs, loaf of bread filled with raisins, nuts and marzipan and sweets or chocolates

symbolic of the death and resurrection of Jesus. Families with children may
decorate boiled eggs and hide boiled or chocolate eggs around the house or
garden. Children are told that these eggs have been hidden by the mythical
Easter hare.
