  2. Easter Customs

    Share Share Post
    Long ago many children used go out gathering eggs, but that custom has early died out now. On Easter Saturday people go to the Chapel for the Easter water. Each person takes three sups of Easter water, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
    Most people eat a lot of eggs on Easter Sunday. Some people get up very early on Easter Sunday morning to see the sun dancing.
