14 Easter Easter Sunday is a Christian festival commemorating the Resurrection of Christ.It is in spring, usually in April.The idea of the egg as a symbol of new life was adopted to symbolize the Resurrection.Easter is a joyful church holiday, and many churches have an outdoor service at sunrise on this day.Children and their parents color hard-boiled eggs before Easter.Late Saturday night or early Sunday morning the eggs are hidden, and the children have an Easter egg hunt Sunday.Usually little candies and perhaps a large chocolate egg are hidden along with real eggs.Little children believe the Easter rabbit comes and leaves the eggs for them.By this time of the year, winter is over and the weather is getting warmer.Many people buy new spring clothes and wear them for the first time on Easter Sunday.Most of us like to eat potatoes.But most people do not know what part of the potato is best for food.Take a sharp knife and cut from the middle of the potato a slice as thin as paper.Hold the slice between your eyes and the light.You will see that the potato has a skin, an outside rim, and an inside part.The outside rim which is immediately beneath the skin of the potato is the most valuable part of all.This is often thrown away with the skin.Even the skin itself is better for food than the inside.When eating a baked potato, if you scoop out the inside and leave the outside, you are wasting the best of it.If you cannot eat the whole potato, eat the outside and leave the inside.Verse-reading: London Bridge is falling down, Falling down, falling down.London Bridge is falling down, My fair lady.
