Ostern in Deutschland



Easter in Germany starts on Good Friday, people eat fish in their meals on this day. They paint easter eggs and of course go on an easter egg hunt. The bonfires that they make the day before easter, are used to drive out winter. The easter bunny in Germany dates back to a pre-christian fertility lore. The first chocolate bunny was actually made in Germany. Fasching in Germany is like Mardi Gras here. There are a lot of delicious easter foods in Germany, such as, easter lamb,hot cross buns, and lots of different types of cakes. There is also a game in Germany called choclate kiss when children play a game involving chocolate. The object of the game is to eat the most chocolate without getting any on your face. There are some newer easter traitions in Germany, such as, hunting for easter eggs.Above the text you can see many pictures of eggs in Germany.
