I wish Happy Easter
Maybe you wanna know?
In German-speaking countries and the Netherlands are looking for the hidden children brightly painted eggs and candy that were hidden by an "Easter Bunny". There is also the custom of twigs in vases or on trees in the garden with colorful Easter eggs to decorate. As an Easter cake, there is a cake in the form of rabbit or lamb. Easter customs are for the Ostereiertitschen, Easter eggs and push Eierschibbeln.
In Catholic churches, the church bells between Good Friday and Easter Vigil will not be rung. In some communities, mainly in southern Germany, but also in Luxembourg, instead, children and young people with special pull ratchets or rattles through the village to call on the services and the Angelus prayer.
In France, Austria, but also in predominantly Catholic regions of Germany are told the children that the bells fly to Rome on Good Friday and Easter Sunday to come back to explain why they do not ring. The bells were hiding on the way back from Rome sweets for the children. The search for the hidden sweets found in France, in contrast to the German-speaking countries, instead of on Easter Monday.

We do the Easter egg hunting thing in the United States too. This year I get to experience it the first time with my boyfriend son, who just turned four. Until this year, he hasn't been old enough to understand the concept of finding the eggs, but I am sure thisy year, he and I both will have a blast. Even though his father and I are not married, I consider him my stepson. I am lived here with them for six months and he only sees his real mother once a week. So I am sort of taking on the mommy role. His father and I however, are really bad a procrastinating, so we must rush out today and get his Easter gift. In the States, children normally get a basket filled with fake grass, candy, and toys. We are going to get a basket that is already made from the store and then add more to it because those things, although expensive, never have enough candy in them! As for the cake thing, we do not bake anything special for the Easter holiday. Although, a lot of families have a big dinner like on Thanksgiving with ham or something of that nature. So basically including the church traditions, we celebrate the same way. Although, I must admit I had never heard of twigs in vases in trees thing. I does sound quite fun though! Thanks for sharing your countries traditions with us and I hope you Easter holiday is a great one!
