Easter is a festival to celebrate therebirthafter the cold winter. We can see lots of symbols of new life on Easter, like eggs, chicks and rabbits.
Unlike Christmas, Easter isn't on the same date each year. It is on the first Sunday after the full moon following the spring equinox(春分). People in the UK have a holiday which is almost as long as the Christmas holiday. It's a public holiday. Everyone looks forward to their Easter break because it's a moment to relax, have a short holiday or visit family and friends.
For most England children, Easter means chocolate eggs. Shops are full of chicks, rabbits and flowers. They sell a lot of chocolate eggs. Ninety million chocolate eggs are sold in the UK each year, and each child gets on average(平均) eight chocolate eggs that day. Most doctors advise people to eat Easter eggs in moderation(适度)．
On Easter Day, people paint on eggs to give others as presents. And they always hide eggs for children to find. Some places even hold competitions to see who can roll an egg down a hill without breaking it!
