Easter Egg Roll in the White House


Since 1878, the White House has hosted an annual Easter celebration on Monday for kids and their parents. Families enter a lottery for the event, and winners get to hang out on the South Lawn for the day, enjoying activities, music, and of course--the egg roll race, where kids push colored eggs across the lawn with spoons.

 

While Easter is observed worldwide, some countries have a surprising way to celebrate this holiday of rebirth and fertility. Enjoy your backyard egg hunt, and then consider some of these traditions from across the globe. From pot throwing, to spanking, to an annual ‘egg roll,’ these Easter customs are certainly interesting!
