5 Easter Traditions , From Around the World.
Every culture has its own
unique holiday traditions rooted
in that region's folklore and history.
Here are five popular Easter traditions from different locations around the world.

The firework-packed cart is paraded through the city and set off by the Archbishop during Easter mass.
2. Sweden and Finland.
It is common for children to
dress up as witches and beg
for chocolate in the streets.
3. Corfu, Greece.
The tradition welcomes spring by
disposing of old pots so new ones
can be used to gather the season's crops.
4. Bessières, France.
The tradition is said to have begun when Napoleon
passed through the town and ordered the townspeople to make a giant Omelette for his army.
5. Jerusalem, Israel.
