Easter Day


Most of Americans are Christianities; they are for sure following Jesus and revering him. According to the Bible, Jesus was resurrected from the dead three days after his crucifixion, so the Christians celebrate to congratulate the Jesus’ reborn. In America, many families will attend Sunday Mass or services in the morning and then participate in a feast or party in the afternoon. They will also give the Easter eggs as the presents. In the morning of the Eater Day, the Americans usually go to the church and pray Jesus. After that, they are going back home and the families are gathering to have a meal in the afternoon. However, since family’s members are now living far away from their origins, they may have the meal together at noon, so people can leave early. After having meal, they will give their presents: the Easter eggs, which are symbols for the reborn. The Easter eggs are made from chocolates or many different materials; such as plastics, the real chickens’ shell, etc. with many different colors. During the Easter Day, the Americans usually talk about Jesus and the Christianity. They also talk about their normal lives and share their stories with their family’s members. Therefore, I think the significance that Easter has for most Americans is religious and family because they are praying and going to the church at the Easter day, and they are gathering to have a meal, share their individual with each other. Consequently, I think this is the important holiday for America, who are Christianities or un-Christianities because they can be together, have a pause-time during their hard works, their hard lives, especially, they can have fun with their children.
