How do you celebrate Easter?

Teens: How do you celebrate Easter?

  • I am Greek Orthodox so my Easter is one week after this Sunday. My family does things a little differently. I wake up and search for my Easter basket, (my sisters and I are all teenagers and clearly too old for it but hey, I'm not going to turn down free candy). Then we get our Greek on. My father and my uncle go out and buy a dead lamb. They bring it back to my house and set up the rotisserie in my garage. We set up all of our appetizers, (our appetizers are like your dinner). We have like 10 different types of cheese (gotta have dat feta). The we put out a lot of olives, fish, octopus, spanakopita (feta and spinach pie), tiropita ( feta chees pie), and special Greek Easter bread. We have a bunch of red eggs on the table. The red symbolizes Christ's blood. Two people hit the eggs on top of each other on both sides and the egg without the crack wins. The first person to hit the egg is supposed to say Christ has risen in Greek and the other person says He has truly risen. The of course we have the Ouzo and many other types of alcohol. All this time the lamb is cooking and then when it's done we take out its organs and eat them too. I do not do this, it looks really gross. Then we go in my basement and eat more food. We keep ourselves entertained with food, Greek music, and gossip. All my Greek family is over to celebrate Easter with me. I pool in about $120 from my yiaya and her sister and my nouno at the end of the day. I was just wondering what you do on your Easter?

    my parents just recently started doing the easter thing again last year after my sis moved out for college. last year my parents made each of us a basket, mine my sis's and her bf's, each was filled with... unconventional gifts. there was candy, money and samples of booze! how great is that? and then we went outside to yes, easter egg hunt. but the eggs were either plastic filled with candy, money, or lotto tickets, or they were something called cascarones, or confetti eggs. and there were 2 special eggs, one silver, one gold, and in the silver there was a 50$ bill and in the gold a 100$ bill. i found the gold :) then we went inside and made our annual bunny cake and ate and that was pretty much it. the downside of it all is that, to this day, there is STILL confetti in the crevices of my porch a year later. and no matter how much you vacuum its still there. oh yeah and i live in texas with plenty of room and a jungle like backyard so there are plenty of hiding places

my parents or grand-parents often create an easter egg hunter in the house with chocolates. We follow clues and then get to the prize which is usually a bigger chocolate animal. We have dinner as a family and thats about it!

I'm Christian, I just wake up, get ready and go to church, come back. my mom is cooking a late lunch sort of thing, we munch on candy and watch TV and hang out with family, we eat, we share stories, it's basically like a family hting. We celebrate it as a religious holiday, but Not a lot.

I am Orthodox as well. Since my mom is Orthodox & my dad isn't, we do something different. On regular Easter Sunday, my parents let my siblings have an egg hunt. No Church service :( During the week we eat no meat products. We go to Church on the following Sunday. Then we head to our grandmas for a big dinner to celebrate! So, Easter kinda lasts 2 weeks with my family!

I am catholic I also wake up and search for our Easter baskets the "Easter bunny" hides (my brother is 9 and still believes) Have an Easter egg ouside Go to my aunts house, eat ham.. Have another Easter egg hunt, like you, eat a lot. It's funny though, my family is half Lithuanian and we also do the contest with eggs tryin to see which cracks. First we dye them, an the last one that doesnt break is the champion. Happy Easter and God Bless!

Tomorrow, millions of Christians all over the world will celebrate the one event in human history that assures us beyond all doubt that there is life beyond the grave: the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Jesus said, "Because I live, you also will live" (John 14:19). Think of it this way: How could we ever know -- really know -- that death is not the end, but that a more glorious life awaits us after we die? The only way would be for someone to die -- and then come back to life and tell us what awaited us after death. And this is what happened with Jesus. His promise came true: "I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go...I will come back and take you to be with me" (John 14:2-3). Hundreds -- even thousands -- witnessed His death on that Roman cross outside Jerusalem, and observed His body being taken down, after which it was placed in a sealed and guarded stone tomb. But on the third day, the tomb was empty, and during the next 40 days hundreds witnessed His presence. Their lives were changed, because now they knew that when they died they would be in God's glorious presence forever. Don't go through life without hope, living only for the moment and never understanding why God put you here. Instead, discover the joy that only comes from knowing Christ, as you turn to Him in faith and invite Him to come into your life. http://peacewithgod.jesus.net/
