Hello!

Easter is a very important holiday in the United States!

It is a celebration of spring and the rebirth of nature.

After a long winter, Easter is when we see flowers grow and hear birds sing.

Easter is also a religious celebration, and many people go to church to pray and be with their families.

Families sometimes decorate their homes with painted eggs.

Another tradition in the United States is the Easter egg hunt!

Children believe that the Easter Bunny comes early in the morning to hide eggs all around, and these eggs are filled with candy! Then, the children have to hunt for all the eggs!

Eggs and baby animals are symbols for Easter because they represent new life and the start of spring.

In the United States, April 1st is April Fool's Day! We make jokes (blagues), and play tricks on (on dupe / on berne) our friends all day long!

We don't make paper fish, though - that's a French tradition.
