Easter Sunday, which falls on April 4th this year, dates back nearly 2,000 years. It is celebrated by hundreds
of millions of people around the world. For my family, it is considered the greatest holiday of the year.
Every Easter my brothers and I would wake up early and, like Christmas morning, run downstairs to see
what surprises were waiting for us. We were always excited when the Easter Bunny (兔子), who is like Father
Christmas, came and left us a basket of candy. It's wonderful. It is like there is a miracle every Easter morning.
Our mother, however, would not let us eat the chocolates like we wanted. The chocolate bunnies, and candy
eggs would have to wait. Instead, we would have to get dressed in our new clothes.
Then my family would go to church. After church we would go to an elder family members' house for a
feast (盛会). My mother's family came to the US from Eastern Europe, so we would often eat many traditional
dishes. My favorite was ham and a special potato salad. We usually had 20 or more family members at the
dinner.
After dinner my cousins, brothers and I would go outside. While we were sleeping the night before, our
parents had hidden plastic eggs throughout the back yard. We would always have a contest to see who could
find the most eggs. The winner would get a prize. It was our annual Easter Egg Hunt. Sometimes, in summer,
we would discover an egg we missed on Easter.
