Easter is nearly here. I am wondering how people around the world celebrate Easter? Since this is a Japan board, do people in Japan celebrate Easter?
In Australia it is an Easter tradition to eat hot cross buns, Easter bunnies as well as Easter Eggs. But when I moved to France I discovered the French don’t eat hot cross buns for Easter. They do eat edible Easter Bunnies as well as chocolate Easter eggs but they are usually only for kids, where as in Australia as an Adult I have received Easter bunnies or eggs during Easter. My husband have tried hot cross bun in Australia but he doesn’t like it because he doesn’t like cinnamons or raisins.
For those who don’t know what hot cross buns are, they are sweet, spiced buns made with dried fruit and leavened with yeast. A cross, the symbol of Christ, is placed on top of the buns, either with pastry or a simple mixture of flour and water. The buns are traditionally eaten on Good Friday; however in Australia they are available in bakeries and stores many weeks before Easter.
