Easter
in Brazil
As
Brazil is located below the Ecuador line, in the South hemisphere,
Easter doesn't happen during Spring, but during Fall. |
On Good Friday, Catholic traditions
is to eat dishes which have fish. Other kinds of meat, such as
beef, chicken, pork etc are avoided on this day by Catholics.
Easter Sunday is a day for families to have a special lunch and
exchange chocolate Easter eggs. The first thing children do when
they woke up on a Easter Sunday, is to look for the eggs that
were hidden by the Easter Bunny. |

Chocolate bunnies
are sold everywhere and they are as popular as the eggs among
children. The chocolate eggs come wrapped in bright colored papers
and many supermarkets usually decorate a whole corridor with
them, giving us the impression we are entering a tunnel of Easter
eggs. It's looks very nice. |
At school, children usually make
some Easter crafts and fill them with chocolate to give as gifts
to their family and friends.
