La Easter It is one of the most important parties in Canada, celebrated with great fanfare, just like other countries in the Western world.
Aside from religious observances, Easter celebrations in Canada are marked by popular traditions, such as organizing Easter eggs, decorating eggs, and feasting with family and friends.
Easter Egg Decoration
In Canada, decorating Easter eggs is generally an activity done with children at school or at home. And it is tradition that during the morning of Easter Sunday they are hidden so that the children find them.
Winter carnival
One of the most important parts of Easter celebrations in Canada is the winter carnival, organized in Quebec City. The theme of decorations depends on snowfall and cold to keep the ski trails in good condition as well as the ice sculptures intact.
In addition to the carnival parade, the winter carnival features special sporting events such as skating, skiing, and sledding. It is also common for cities to organize parades with the participation of local authorities and institutions.
Traditions
Traditional Easter food consists of popular dishes including baked beans, Nicoise potatoes, and apple pie. Easter eggs are consumed by mixing them with maple syrup, after a fast is over.
Most of the theaters in community centers in major Canadian cities are booked in advance to host Easter plays and songs during the holiday season.
It should be noted that Good Friday is a holiday in Canada, which means that almost everything is closed, including government offices, banks and schools. Some exceptions may apply to restaurants or tourist attractions.
