Easter in Ireland

The date of Easter Sunday changes every year but it is always in spring. The weather is usually sunny but sometimes it can rain or even snow! In Ireland, people do many different things at Easter. On Easter morning, we usually go to church to celebrate Jesus returning to heaven (but I rarely go). After that, we always have a big dinner with our families. Children usually get chocolates and Easter eggs. Painted eggs are sometimes hidden in the garden and the children must find them. We often visit our relatives in the afternoon but we sometimes go to watch a sports event. We never go shopping on Easter Sunday because all the shops are closed.
