What is Easter and why is it celebrated?
How is Easter celebrated in Australia?
Most people in Australia celebrate Easter, with some doing so for religious reasons and some to enjoy the long weekend, just like Christmas. Many states and territories in Australia commemorate the weekend with two extra days off for Good Friday and Easter Monday, allowing families across the country to enjoy an extra couple of days with friends and family.
Common traditions for Australian families includes Easter egg hunts, making hot cross buns, enjoying the many football games on tv, or cooking up a big meal for their nearest and dearest.
