In
Germany, Easter is called by the name of Ostern. Easter holidays for
children last for about three weeks. Good Friday, Easter Saturday and
Easter Sunday are the days when people don't work at all. In Germany
also there is tradition of huge bonfires on Easter Saturday evenings.
These Easter fires are burnt as symbolize the end of winter and bad
omen. This is very popular tradition and large numbers of people
assemble to enjoy it. Then, there is the tradition of families having breakfast together on Easter Sunday. Easter baskets full with sweets, eggs and small presents are hidden and children have to find them out. Colorful Easter eggs are decorated with traditional designs and are exchanged amongst friends.
