Easter

Easter Easter is the Christian festival which commemorates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his Crucifixion. The date of Easter varies from year to year, but it is always celebrated on a Sunday between 22 March and 25 April according to the Gregor calendar. Pancake Day Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday, is the last day before Christians begin fasting. People cook and eat pancakes. These are made from flour, milk and eggs, and fried in a hot pan. In Britain in some towns there is a tradition to hold pancake races on that day. People who take part in the pancake race, run along the street holding a frying pan and throwing the pancake in the air. Those who drop the pancake, lose the race. People who watch them have great fun.
