Easter in France By Lillie Class 3
Easter Monday • Every year on Easter Monday, around 10,000 people gather to make a giant omelette, made with 15,000 fresh eggs, a four-meter pan, 40 cooks, and extra long sticks.
Easter Game • Egg Battles – France hold an egg-rolling competition, in which raw eggs are rolled down a gentle slope. The surviving egg is dubbed the “victory egg” , symbolizing the stone being rolled away from the tomb of Christ.
Chasse aux oeufs • Children hunt for eggs on Easter Sunday, but some lucky little ones get to hunt for their treats in gardens of French castles. As well as a huge number of chocolate eggs hidden around the gardens, one lucky hunter will find a one-meter tall chocolate sculpture.
