Many Western countries celebrate Easter. This holiday is always on a Sunday March 22^nd and April 25^th. It celebrates theof a new life. Hens lay eggs, giving birth to life, so an egg is a symbol of new life. A activity during Easter is to hide eggs around your home or garden for friends or relatives to find. These can be real eggs, but they are more often chocolate eggs. Not only do people them around in different hiding places for an egg hunt, but they also give out these treats as. So just like Christmas, Easter creates good business for supermarkets and chocolate stores.
