Easter traditions around Europe

Well staying during Easter here and living with people from all over the Europe was really interesting experience. We shared the way everybody are celebrating in home. There is a lot of things that are the same but also a lot interesting differences. For example the painting of easter eggs. The easter bunny and so on. So we just decided to share our diversity and make couple of workshops for painting eggs explaining our traditions as here they are not used to paint eggs at all. We had a lot of fun doing this and also whole week eating eggs.

The really interesting thing for me was that here on Tenerife each family has their own way to celebrate the festival and it is not so generally accepted that it is a family festival like in Bulgaria. They have the tradition to eat fish at Thursday and generally the Holy week is more important than the Easter by itself. And in Bulgaria is the other way around. This was the strange thing for me. But it is really nice that not everyone are staying home and you always have company for going to the beach.
