    Easter
    Easter is another great festival. It is celebrated by eating eggs and fancy bread.
    The children look forward greatly to it. They spend weeks before Easter building an Easter house.
    After dinner on Easter Sunday they light a fire in the house and make tea and boil eggs. They enjoy these eggs better than if they had been boiled in their own home.
    Good Friday is the name given to the Friday before Easter Sunday. Everyone fasts until twelve o'clock on this day.
