One of the most common Easter foods is eggs. Do you know why we have eggs at Easter? It's because eggs are a symbol of new life, and Easter celebrates the new life of Jesus. People also decorate the eggs with colorful designs or dye them with bright colors.

Another popular Easter food is hot cross buns. They are sweet buns with a cross on top made from icing or pastry. The cross symbolizes the cross that Jesus was crucified on.

Some families also enjoy having a big feast on Easter Sunday with ham, lamb, or other special meats. And let's not forget about all the yummy Easter candy and chocolate!
