Easter is coming and is considered a very special date. For religious Christians, it signifies the rebirth of Christ, so it is a time of renewal, peace, and sharing love. Easter is synonymous with lots of love, happiness and understanding.

In the old days, the oldest tradition consisted of using dyed chicken eggs and then painting them, but the modern custom is to give chocolate eggs. That said, Easter eggs have always been a perdition, from ancient times to the present day, where eggs are considered as the main gift to celebrate the Easter holiday.

As we know, from country to country there is a different tradition. So not to worry, this article talks about Easter in South Africa because, there are different and very good traditions.

Easter in South Africa

In South Africa there is a great tradition called “Hot cross buns”, which began in 1361. In detail, they are small, sweet, slightly spicy and very tasty buns that can have various fillings, but the most traditional is raisins. All have a cross on top, made with icing sugar or cream, symbolizing the crucifixion of Christ. Without them, the Good Friday breakfast in South Africa is not the same.
Tradition says that if you share a “hot cross bun” with a friend on Good Friday, the friendship will last forever.
