Celebration of Easter in Korea


Easter is one of the best days in Christianity because it is the day that commemorates the revival of Jesus Christ. But for those who do not believe in religions like me, Easter is just an ordinary weekend or holiday. People give eggs during Easter Day which are painted with pictures about the life of Jesus. They are usually colorful, so, they are beautiful. When I was young, I received Easter eggs from Christians. As a child, I found the egg paintings very beautiful and attractive. But I always got disappointed because I realized that those were just boiled eggs. It was a funny experience as a kid. Easter Day makes me remember my childhood days.
