In Britain people give each other chocolate Easter eggs (huevos de pascua) and Easter cards. They love giving cards! They have Easter cards , Birthday cards, Christmas cards, Mother's Day cards, get well cards (postales que se envían cuando alguien está enfermo deseándole que se mejore), Valentine's Day cards...a card for every occassion ! But they don't have cards for Saint' Day ( el día del Santo) because they don't celebrate them !
Another tradition at Easter is to paint hard-boiled eggs (huevos duros) . Parents usually hide (esconder) the eggs in the garden or in the house and the children have to try to find them. This game is called "egg hunt "( la búsqueda del huevo) .Eggs have been a traditional symbol of fertility and rebirth since ancient times . In Christian tradition the egg is a symbol of the resurrection.
