Different countries have different ways and customs of Easter. Some ring church bells, some light bonfires, and some splash water on each other to celebrate, but most countries celebrate Easter without the appearance of Easter eggs, and the figure of the Easter bunny is also indispensable. The following are some of the customs and activities in some of these countries during Easter:

First, in Germany, there is also a reserved program for Easter – looking for Easter eggs brought by the Easter Bunny. In the German city of Saalfeld, many people hang Easter eggs on trees to celebrate the festival.

Second, in the United Kingdom, people will give each other cat willow branches bundled with various colored eggs. This Easter gift is said to bring good luck.

Third, in Russia, red eggs are celebrated. It is said that red eggs have magical powers: they can bring luck and health.

Fourth, in Spain, parades are held every day from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday.

Fifth, some regions of Italy also have the tradition of Easter parades. However, more famous is the Easter Mass in Rome, which includes the Parade of Bitterness in front of the ancient Colosseum in Rome.

Six, in France, Easter Sunday will ring the sweetest bell in the world. Because from Green Thursday to Easter Saturday, the bells of various churches will stop ringing for three days, and when the bells ring on Easter Sunday, people will hug and kiss each other.

Seven, in Finland and other Nordic countries, the traditional custom of Easter is to light the Easter bonfire.

Eight, it is essential for Romanians to celebrate Easter with flames and candles. In the evening, after the church mass, people will walk home with candles in hand.

Nine, Poles will splash water on each other on this day. This tradition is to commemorate the baptism of Mieszko I, the first ruler of Poland, in 966 AD, confirming the status of Catholicism in Poland.
