In many places, an important part of the Easter tradition is the egg rolling which usually takes place on Easter Monday.
These eggs are usually hard boiled and then decorated, so people can recognise their egg.
The egg rolling is like a game for kids, but sometimes the parents are more nervous!
There are two type of egg rolling. One is where the eggs are rolled down a hill with the objective to see which egg can go the furhest without breaking and the second one is to roll the egg along using a spoon in a race to finish line on a flat surface.
The egg rolling started in Germany and the custom travelled to Europe and America.
The most famous egg rolling ceremony is The White House Easter Egg Roll and the tradition started in 1878, where originally the young children in Washington went to Capitol Hill on Easter Monday for egg rolling and a day of activities. But this event was moved to the White House one year later.
Also is typical in these countries to hide some eggs in the garden and then the children goes to search them.
In Spain people don't play the egg rolling and hide eggs, they just sit in the table or in the sofa eating cakes and chocolate.
Just joking. Here in Spain is typical the godparent give the godchildren a cake with chocolate or money, so the family meets.

| Typical Mona de Pasqua |
While I've been growing up, my "mona" has been changing. At the beginning, it was a typical chocolate cake bought it, but now is a cake made it by them and with money in it. I prefer the last one, but it won't last for ever and It hurts so much!!
Theoretically, I should have it today, but look, I'm here in the computer because they couldn't come today so I will have mine this sunday, mmh! Can't wait!
I know the Easter was yesterday, but I say Happy Easter to all of you today! I think is still trending topic on twitter today, LOL.
