EASTER

Easter holidays are here!
On wednesday everybody will say goodbye to school and we will
enjoy some nice spring days.
Are you doing something special on Easter holidays?
In some countries as Germany, U.K., Ireland, U.S.A...

there´s a very popular tradition: Easter Bunnies.

It has a German origin but now it´s celebrated in a lot of places.

Have you seen chocolate bunnies and eggs somewhere in Gasteiz?

Have you eaten them?

The Easter Bunnies bring baskets filled with coloured eggs, sweets and sometimes also toys to children on the night before Easter.
The Bunnies will either put the baskets in a designated place or hide them
somewhere in the house or garden for the children to find when they wake up in the morning.

If you go to the mountain, to the beach, to the cinema... if you stay in Gasteiz or another town:

<ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAYS !!! SEE YOU SOON !!!

ST PATRICK'S DAY

Have you seen today any person wearing a green hat?

Today is Saint Patrick's Day and it's celebrated on 17 March in many places, and here, in Gasteiz, Irish and local people go to Irish Pubs to celebrate the day.

It's named after the Patron Saint of Ireland and it is a public holiday in this country.

But this day is celebrated all around the world ,

mainly in USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand... where we can find important Irish communities.

Many people wear green clothes and there are big parades in a lot of cities. In some places they colour the streets or dye the water in fountains, lakes and rivers, as in Chicago, where they dye the river using natural dyes.
