Easter

Easter is an important festival for the Christians. The week before Easter is called the Holy Week (Karwoche).
Palm Sunday is the first day of the Holy Week and celebrates Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem riding on a donkey (Esel).
On Maunday Thursday (Gründonnerstag).
Christians remember when Jesus ate the Last Supper (Letztes Abendmahl) with his disciples (Apostel), breaking bread and drinking wine.
On Good Friday (Karfreitag), many churches hold services (Hl. Messe) thinking of Christ’s death.
Easter Sunday marks Jesus’ resurrection (Auferstehung).

For Christians, Easter eggs symbolise new life.
Easter is named after the Anglo-Saxon goddess (Göttin) of dawn (Tagesanbruch) and spring (Frühling). It falls on a Sunday between 22 March and 25 April. It is a time of fun and celebration because it is the end of winter and the end of Lent (Fastenzeit).
Children in Austria and Germany believe in the Easter Bunny.
They say it delivers (verteilen) eggs and sweets. Children have easter egg hunts (Jagd/Suche) in the garden.
