As winter comes to a close, the flowers start to bloom and a new holiday season comes into flourish. Depending on their religion, not everyone celebrates this holiday, but regardless, people around the world have their own ways of celebrating it.

In America, a typical Easter is one where the Easter Bunny leaves candy in baskets and hides little plastic eggs for children to find more candy, and Catholic families will attend church and have brunch or a nice holiday dinner.

But unique traditions have developed around the world that have not spread to the United States. In countries around Europe, their traditions can range from reading crime novels to completely soaking others in water.

One tradition that can be very fun is from Poland. In a tradition called Smingus-Dyngus, boys typically find ways to drench people in water with things ranging from a bucket to a water gun. While the people in Poland are celebrating their traditions, the people in Bermuda are putting together colorful kites. On Good Friday, long, colorful kites are flown while people eat codfish cakes and hot cross buns.

Another tradition that is celebrated in Haux, France has some history behind it. When Napoleon and his army traveled through this small town. They ordered omelets and since Napoleon liked his so much, he ordered giant omelet for him and his men. Now, the town gathers up thousands of eggs to make a giant omelet that can feed up to one thousand people.

While the people in Norway read crime novels and the people in Hungary soak people in water and ask for a kiss, the people in the United States celebrate Easter in a way that is normal to them, as do so many other countries with their unique traditions.
