In the afternoon, Muslims get together with family and friends to enjoy a big feast (with lots of sweets!). They also give gifts to each other.

When is Easter Sunday?

Easter Sunday is the most important date in the Christian church.

In the bible, it is the day when Mary Magdalene found that an empty tomb in the cave in which Jesus had been placed following his death by crucifixion on the previous Friday.

It signifies the end of the 40 days of Lent, meaning Christians who gave up something during lent to signify Jesus' time in the wilderness, can indulge themselves again.

Easter Sunday is also when church bells will be rung again, having been silent during Lent.

Why is it called Easter?

The name Easter is derived from 'Ostara' or 'Eostre', a pagan goddess of fertility, whose feast was celebrated on the Vernal Equinox. The word East is also derived from her names, as is Oestrogen, the female hormone. In Saxon culture, the Hare was sacred to Ostara and the modern tradition of the Easter Bunny is a distant echo of that.

However, In most languages other than English and German, the holiday's name is derived from Pesach, the Hebrew name of Passover, a Jewish holiday to which the Christian Easter is intimately linked.

Easter depends on Passover not only for much of its symbolic meaning but also for its position in the calendar. Read more about the date of Easter.

Easter traditions

Easter Bunny

The Easter Bunny is now an established part of the Easter traditions. In Europe and America, the Easter Bunny visits the garden of children leaving chocolate eggs and treats for the children to find on Easter Egg hunts.

Rabbits and hares don't have any direct connection to any Christian tradition and it is interesting to note that the pagan goddess, Ostara was always traditionally accompanied by a hare. The modern tradition derives from a German custom that was first recorded in the 16th century. It may seem strange for a rabbit to be laying eggs, but as eggs were part of the foods banned during Lent, then the reintroduction of eggs would have been a welcome treat, no matter how they arrived in the garden.

It was once thought that hares could give birth without conceiving, which may have made them a way of explaining the birth of Jesus to the Virgin Mary. It is also said that the sight of Rabbits appearing from their underground burrows is a reminder of Jesus appearing from the tomb after his resurrection on Easter morning.

Lamb

On Easter Sunday, the traditional meat for dinner is lamb. The lamb was a sacrifice during the Jewish Passover, and it became a symbol for Jesus. It is also seasonal as Spring lamb is particularly tender and noted for its subtle flavour.

On 31 December, festivities hit places around the world at slightly different times due to the time differences across the world.

Generally, whenever they take place, New Year traditions are designed to bring luck and good fortune in the year ahead.

Let's take a look at how people are celebrating the start of the new year around the world.

Big fireworks displays

One of the most popular ways to celebrate seeing in the New Year is with big fireworks displays.

These take place all over the world, as different countries hit midnight.

In New Zealand, Auckland Sky Tower is usually part of an impressive fireworks display, and the same happens in Sydney Harbour in Australia.

In Toronto in Canada, it's in Nathan Phillips Square, while in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, it's the city's famous Copacabana beach where the sky is lit up by fireworks.

Smashing plates

If you walked out of your front door to find a load of smashed plates, you might be a bit confused.

But that's exactly what people in Denmark hope to find after midnight, as it means good luck.

So, if you were Danish, you might go and smash a plate on a friend's doorstep to bring good luck over the next 12 months.

Eating lentils

In Brazil, there is a tradition to eat lentils at New Year, as these represent money - meaning good fortune for the year ahead!

Dropping things

In New York in the US, Times Square is the centre of the countdown to midnight.

But the thing that everyone is looking forward to is called the ball drop, which is when a glowing ball is lowered down a big flagpole, to signal the start of the new year.

As a result, other cities in the US now have their own traditions of dropping things on New Year's Eve.

In Vincennes in Indiana, people drop watermelons from high up!

Eating grapes

When the clocks hit midnight in Spain, you'll find people reaching for grapes.

This is because there is a tradition to eat one grape each time the clock strikes at midnight.

The idea is that this will bring you 12 lucky months in the year ahead.

Dressing up as bears

In Romania, there's a tradition for people to dress up as dancing bears to chase away any evil spirits.

This is because bears are special according to old Romanian stories and are able to protect and heal people.

Ringing bells

Some countries, like Japan and South Korea, ring bells to start the New Year.

In Japan, the bells are rung 108 times, so you can expect it to be quite noisy!

Throwing furniture

In Johannesburg in South Africa, people like to start the year without any unwanted items.

They do this by throwing old furniture out of the window.

Walking an empty suitcase - yes, really!

In some South American countries, you might see some people on New Year's Eve walking around with an empty suitcase.

Some believe that taking what is called a "suitcase walk" means they will have a year full of adventures ahead.
