In the morning at Easter Sunday every family in Germany spends time together at breakfast. Parents hide baskets with sweets, Easter eggs and small gifts the day before. After breakfast they tell the children: "The Easter bunny hid the baskets from you, you have to find them”" Children are looking for them all over the house and this is a very fun moment of the holiday.

Poland

In Poland, at Easter, special Easter "dough" is baked from yeast dough, which symbolize spring and its fertility. The Easter table is decorated with figures of an Easter lamb, which is cut out of butter or from a piece of white sugar. Bitter horseradish is served with meat, as if reminding that there are also sufferings and disappointments in life. On Easter, the Poles arrange a folk festival with songs.

The following Easter Sunday is a Wet Monday. Poles generously pour water on each other, but no one is offended, everyone is happy. It is believed that water brings health, good luck and profit in the household.
