Different families have many different unique special traditions for Easter. Some families do easter egg hunts, decorate eggs, dinner, or even church. In other cultures, families don’t celebrate Easter based on their religion or belief.
“Each year, my family and I go to an Easter Vigil church service and have ham for Easter dinner. We love celebrating this way because all of our family and friends celebrate the holiday the same way,” sophomore Dana Flink said.
Easter is a really good time for many families to come together and have fun by celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. One popular activity that people do together is an Easter egg hunt where kids search for colorful eggs with candy and different treats inside of them.
“My favorite Easter memory is when I was up north at my aunt’s house, and the “Easter Bunny” made a scavenger hunt for us to find our easter baskets and also set up an easter egg hunt. One of the surprises in our baskets was a trip to the Dells that we left for later that day,” junior Jack Grunske said.
For Easter break, families get an opportunity to reflect and have gratitude with each other. People do this to honor the thankfulness of being on this earth whether that’s spending time outdoors sharing laughter or relaxing together. Easter break is a cherished time that makes your bonds stronger and raises a sense of community.
“Going to church makes everyone become a part of a really big community. We have a homemade community breakfast, do an easter egg hunt, and play games for prizes,” junior Phineas Lee said.
“For Easter this year, my family and I are traveling up north to visit my grandparents. My grandparents make the family’s favorite homemade dishes such as ham, deviled eggs, potato salad, hot cross buns and even carrot cake for dessert,” junior Tyler Roche said.
