Easter, celebrated between Good Friday and Easter Monday, is just around the cor- ner. Here are the top five ways that Australians celebrate Easter.
1. The Resurrection of Christ
Christian Australians celebrate the resurrec- tion of Jesus on Easter Sunday. The prior- ity of Christians on Good Friday is to attend church before tucking into delicious hot cross buns, and enjoying time with family.
2. Chocolate
The happiness food is in abundance in the form of Easter eggs in shops everywhere. For some, this time of year is all about heal- ing, rest, and quality time with family with some chocolate involved, and of course the
Easter bunny!
3. Easter shows
Many capital cities in Australia put on an annual Easter show with the Sydney Roy- al Easter Show the most famous one.
4. Holidays and camping
In Australia, Easter and family holidays go hand in hand. Many Australians take advan- tage of the four-day long weekend, and get out of town to go camping.
5. Home Renovation Projects
Ah yes, those home renovation and im- provement projects you’ve been putting off… Easter is a perfect time to get stuck into them and make some progress. Whether you need to paint your house, remove some grout from your bathroom tiles – many peo- ple choose Easter to catch up on projects around the house. You can also use the time to de-clutter your wardrobe in prepara- tion for the colder weather ahead.
If you are just staying put at home, you won’t go hungry for hot cross buns or chocolate in Parkes, as well as entertainment.
Whatever you get up to over Easter, do it safely and remember to just relax and have some more chocolate!
