Easter


Although
there
are
many
celebrations throughout the year,
Tet or the Lunar New Year
holiday is the most important
celebration
for
Vietnamese
people. Tet is a festival which
occurs in late January or early
February. It is a time for families
to clean and decorate their
homes, and enjoy special food
such as sticky rice cakes. Family
members who live apart try to be
together at Tet.

Listen


Passover is in late March or early April. This festival is
celebrated in Israel and by all Jewish people. On this
festival, people celebrate freedom from slavery.
Passover is also an ancient spring festival. On the first

and second nights of Passover, Jewish families eat a
special meal called the Seder.


Easter is a joyful festival which is celebrated in
many countries. It happens at around the same
time as Passover. On Easter Day ( Easter
Sunday ), young children receive chocolate or
sugar eggs – as long as they are good. In many
countries, people crowd the streets to watch
colorful parades.
