Historical Romance Easter Egg Hunt
I love reading about holiday traditions. But I really enjoy the odd customs that people celebrate. Here in the US, we have our giant Easter bunny, decorated eggs and hunts, and baskets filled with candy and toys.
In Australia, rabbits are pesty animals that destroy crops. So instead, they have this darling endangered marsupial: the Easter Bilby!
Bessières in southern France, has a 40-year tradition. They make a 15,000 egg omelete in their town square to celebrate Easter! Fifty volunteers help crack the eggs, and local chefs help create the breakfast dish for 10,000 spectators every year.
In Antigua, Gautemala, the locals take several days to create a kilometer long carpet made of sawdust and flowers. The people walk along the colorful creation on their way to church on Easter Sunday.
In Finland, children dress up as Easter witches and go door to door collecting candy. In exchange, they offer decorated pussy willow bouquets as a blessing for the house. The bouquets welcome spring and drive away evil spirits.
In Poland, women prepare the traditional Easter bread. If the men help, it’s said their mustaches will turn gray and the dough won’t rise. (I bet that was made up by a man!)
In Germany, trees are decorated with colorful eggs.
In Scotland, egg races are all the rage. They roll their egg down a hill, and if you’re egg gets to the bottom first—without breaking—you win!

I’m looking forward to watching my kids put together this pool and trying to fill it with water when we don’t have a water spout ☺️♀️
I like to get out into nature and go hiking and/or kayaking with my husband!
I love walking in nature!
My favorite holiday tradition is getting together with extended family and friends on Thanksgiving.
One of my favorites too!
Happy Easter to you and yours, Aubrey! I loved reading about the traditions around the world, especially the Easter Bilby! lol Over here in Canada, the “Easter Bunny” would hide our chocolate/candy treats all over the house and we had to find them…quite often, a treat would be overlooked and we’d find it days later! lol
I remember when we found an old boiled decorated leg a month later. Phew!
My favorite spring tradition is to begin working in my garden. I love when march comes and I can start planting!
I’ve started weeding!
I love planting blue bonnets, the Texas state flower, they make my front lawn look like a purple, white and green carpet. It’s my favorite thing to do for spring, along with taking pictures up and down the local highways full of blue bonnets, it’s tradition to get your baby’s first Easter picture in a carpet of blue bonnets in our family !!
Oh, what a fun tradition! Thanks for sharing!
I like St Pats best as he is the Patron Saint of the University in our neck of the woods and the students have big events. One I really like to watch is the painting of Main Street green. They mop it with green watered-down paint so it will eventually wear off. Then they have a parade on said street with vendors set up and other activities.
That sounds like so much fun! We walked our Irish wolfhound in his first St. Patrick’s Day parade this year.
My favorite holiday tradition is decorating with my family… 🙂
Yes! For any holiday!
My favorite holiday is Christmas
Abslolutely. Tree goes up on Thanksgiving weekend!
My favorite holiday is Easter.
For me, it means spring and horseback riding again!
I love Spring for all the new beginnings that come our way- flowers, grass, baby birds and celebrating Easter.
Me, too! Thanks for stopping by!
I love all the traditions, but we follow none haha.
Hey, that’s your unique tradition! 🙂
One of my favorite Easter traditions is dying Easter eggs and than making lasagna and deviled eggs with them.
Traditions are hard as I didn’t really grow up with many and as my children became adults and started having families of their own, what we did changed. I think spring traditions for sure is planting something – be it flowers or trees or gardens. Every year it’s different. Last year, we planted 6 trees, 7 bushes, and three large pots of flowers. This year I plan to spread out seeds for wildflowers (yes, in the next week or so). I hope the flowers grow well for the bees and hummingbirds.
I’m planting some wild flowers this year too. We get hummingbirds every year. They are amazing.
I love having a big dinner gor my family after church and a big Easter Egg Hunt with prizes in tge eggs. The kids young and adult likes the $$

My sister does that too—money in the eggs for the grown kids!
We take the kids Easter egg hunting and dye our own eggs and they get Easter baskets filled with candy and fun stuff from us & their grandparents. They are spoiled! Happy Easter!
Nothing wrong with spoiling the kids. We still dye the eggs too!
About the only “tradition” we have in the spring is retrieving our Harley from storage. lol The family really doesn’t get together for Easter and spring cleaning the house and yard is not a favorite. lol We both have birthdays in spring, his March 9th and mine April 1st, but we really don’t do much even for that.
Getting out the Harley is a great tradition. And happy early birthday!
Visiting ancient bluebell woods
It sounds heavenly!
My daughter and I enjoy planting a garden every spring! Happy Easter and thank you for the chance!
You’re very welcome. Happy Easter to you too!
I love working in the garden…I just wish i didn’t kill my plants..
Ha! I’ve found the hardiest ones so that helps. Sedums and coleus are pretty hard to kill!
Spring time means playing tennis outside on the clay courts. Also, going for long walks with my German Shepherd.
Shepherds are awesome!!
I enjoyed Easter egg hunts with my children. They have grwon out of the hunts though.
My sister puts money in plastic for the “big” kids!
I love the spring flowers blooming and sitting outside with the warmer weather and longer days.
I think my favorite are the fragrant hyacinths!
My favorite spring tradition is going to the Botanical garden to look at all the blooming flowers.
Oh, what a great tradition!
My favorite thing to do in spring time is plant flowers and clean up the yard so the green grass can show. But I live in Wyoming so spring comes when ever it wants to no big timeline.
I’m in the Midwest and the weather still can’t decide what it wants to do!
My favorite holiday tradition is baking sweet goodies (cinnamon rolls, cherry pies, banana bread) with my Mom on Christmas Eve.
Now I’m hungry! Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
my favorite tradition was decorating a gingerbread house with my kids
My favorite holiday is Christmas; but not everyone in my family helps to decorate the tree, it would be nice.
We have a nature park about 10 minutes away and I love to go there for a walk or just to drive around it to see the animals.
I love spring because I am finally able to take my grandkids to the zoo and enjoy the being outside!
I love dying eggs with the grandkids
Easter lunch with family
My favorite holiday is Christmas
My favorite spring tradition is planning and starting the vegetable garden.
