Easter Sunday in Canada

Easter Sunday in Canada (Easter Sunday) is, like in Poland, an opportunity to meet in the family circle. After the morning service, it's time for food, happy conversations and good wishes. There should be lamb on the tables, which directly relates to Christ, the "Lamb of God". In addition, baked beans, potato salad, apple tart, ham associated with pagan spring rituals, bringing good luck, bread and characteristic buns with a cross.

The symbol of Easter in Canada is the eggs, which represent nature's rebirth, fertility, and are seen as a reflection of Christ's resurrection after his crucifixion. One of the Easter customs is decorating Easter eggs and hunting for eggs. Parents hide them in the garden, and the children try to find a tasty surprise. Such events are also organized in parks or playrooms for children. Other customs, brought to the Maple Syrup Country from Great Britain and France, are the gift of chocolate bunnies. They are brought by the Easter Bunny, the Easter bunny.

It is popular to visit parks and zoos, where the main attraction is watching bunnies. Special Easter performances and concerts are held in theaters and community centers, some cities have an Easter parade. Canadians also use the day off to travel to places such as Montmorency Falls Park, Niagara Falls, Vitoria, Quebec and the beaches of Vancouver Island. In the Land of Honey and Milk flowing on Easter Sunday, many events take place, addressed to really different audiences. This is, for example, Bal en Blanc - a rave event that takes place in Montreal every year, with thousands of participants and the most famous DJs. For Canadians they played, among others Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, David Guetta and Axwell.

One of the centuries-old traditions says that on Easter men should visit women from their family or neighborhood early in the morning. Ideally, the ladies should still be asleep - sprinkling their heads with perfume will make them lucky
