Easter is originally a religious holiday, as it celebrates the return of the savior. However, as this is held generally after winter, the emergence of new life after spring is also aptly remembered. Whatever the reason, Easter is also fun with all the activities and dress up. Easter mass, egg hunts and luncheon parties add to the celebratory mood.

During this holiday, communities dress up in their Sunday best, including the children. Girls and boys are dressed in formal wear. Boys are dressed in oxfords, even pastel ones. Girls on the other hand enjoy frilly dresses or sailor style dresses.
