✨Christian Festivals in the UK

One of the main Christian holidays is Christmas Day on December 25th. It's all about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, and it's a public holiday.

Lots of Christians go to church and spend time with their families on Christmas Day. They usually have a big meal together, like roast turkey. People also give each other presents and decorate their homes with trees and lights. It's a really special day, especially for kids! Some kids also believe that Santa Claus brings them presents on Christmas Eve.

The day after Christmas, on December 26th, is called Boxing Day, and it's also a public holiday.

Easter is another important Christian holiday in the UK, happening in March or April. It's not just about celebrating Jesus Christ's death on Good Friday, but also his resurrection on Easter Sunday.

Before Easter, there's a special time called Lent that lasts for 40 days. During Lent, Christians think about Easter and get ready for it. In the past, people used to fast, but nowadays they might just give up something they really like, like their favourite food.

On Easter, people often give each other chocolate eggs as a sign of new life.

🚨Did you know that in some parts of the UK, there's a tradition called egg rolling on Easter Monday? People roll hard-boiled eggs down hills to celebrate Easter—it's like a mini competition!
