Easter Traditions
The holy week or the week before Easter has days like Easter Triduum and Maundy Thursday. Easter is a moveable feast and is generally celebrated on the first Sunday of the Pascha season. It is also linked to the Passover celebrated by the Jewish people. Easter traditions vary widely in Christian community. Some exchange Paschal greetings, decorate Easter eggs and take part in sunrise services. While some focus on Easter Parades.
Good Friday

To most Christians, Good Friday is really a misnomer in that it was a "bad" Friday - the crucifixion day of Jesus. Some believe the term "Good" evolved from "God" or God s Friday. Others believe "good" represents the good gift of salvation brought forth by the martyrdom. Regardless, it is a holy day throughout the Christian world.
Good Friday is a day of remembrance amongst the Goan Catholics. It is the end of the Lent season, an important observance in the lives of devout Catholics. Lent is observed for a continuous span of 40 days from Feb to March, beginning with Ash Wednesday and finishing with Good Friday followed by the Easter Sunday.
Easter Bunny and Easter Eggs

The Easter eggs were a symbol of rebirth and fertility. Some believed that decorating eggs was a way to bring prosperity into their homes. As a part of a ritual, all the eggs in the home are eaten before the month of lent begins. This is done to save them from spoiling as they are forbidden to be eaten during the fasts. And since chickens keep laying eggs, by the time lent finished and Easter arrives, the families are ready to cook another hearty meal with them. Generally, they were hard boiled before consumption. In countries like Russia and Poland, Easter eggs are symbol of a new life.
