How do you celebrate Easter in your family?
Hi I’m Maria, I’m 11, actually we celebrate Easter at home, we buy Easter eggs, and paint them with my brother, cook Easter cakes, we go to the church, and meet our grandparents, probably we don’t have the school classes at that day, so I don’t know do we have the classes the next day after the Easter, but I think no. Also we play games with Easter eggs, and laugh together. We really love Easter, it’s funny, and lovely celebrating of us.

Or kiss the place to make it well?
My Mother.
Mother is considered the guardian angel of the family. And, of course, it is the mother who plays an important role in the life of every person.
Mother’s Day, also sometimes called ‘Mothering Sunday’, in the United Kingdom. For many mothers and their children it is a very special day and one day of the year when we all remember to thank our mums for looking after us and we celebrate their lives.
Most countries in the world celebrate Mother’s Day around the middle of May but in the UK we normally celebrate it in March – officially it is celebrated the Sunday three weeks before Easter.
In many families it is traditional to give a present to our mother on Mother’s Day. Very often children give their mothers a bouquet of flowers or a small box of chocolates. Young children are encouraged to make something – a small craftwork or painting – to give as a present. With older children and adults, it can be nice to take your mother out for lunch, or to have a day out together. This is good not just because you are thanking her but because you are showing your thanks by spending time with your mother.
Whatever its origins and however we celebrate this day, what is most important is that we do celebrate it. So many of us spend a lot of time fighting with our mothers – and other members of our families – but it is very rare that we pause and tell them how much we appreciate and love them.
We should celebrate and be thankful to our mothers every day of the year but, unfortunately, we often forget in our busy and fast-paced lives. This is one day of the year when we must not. This is one day of the year when we must all say to our mothers, ‘Thank you for everything.’
