Easter(Domingo de Pascua) en 🇺🇸 Estados Unidos

Easter Sunday in the United States blends religious observance with beloved secular traditions. Millions of Americans attend sunrise services or church, making it one of the most widely attended worship days of the year. The White House Easter Egg Roll, held on the South Lawn since 1878, is a quintessential national tradition where children race to push decorated eggs across the grass with wooden spoons.

Families gather for Easter brunch or dinner featuring glazed ham, deviled eggs, hot cross buns, and lamb. Children wake to Easter baskets filled with chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, and marshmallow Peeps. Community egg hunts take place in parks and church grounds across the country, with some towns hiding tens of thousands of eggs.

Regional traditions add color to the celebration. In New York City, the Easter Parade on Fifth Avenue draws crowds in elaborate bonnets and spring finery. In Louisiana, Cajun country celebrates with egg-knocking contests called pocking. Many communities hold passion plays, and the Moravian sunrise service in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, has been a tradition since 1772.

Easter also marks the unofficial start of spring for many Americans, with families planting gardens and enjoying warmer weather after the long winter months.
