Happy Easter! Share Your Egg Hunt, Easter Bunny and Easter Bonnet Photos

This Sunday, March 31, is the Easter holiday, when Christians celebrate the resurrection of Christ on the third day after his crucifixion. Many celebrate Easter by attending mass in the morning and gathering with family afterwards.

Easter is always accompanied by colored eggs- egg hunts, Cadbury creme eggs, plastic eggs with jelly beans, chocolate bunnies and other sweet treats. It is believed the Easter egg symbolizes the empty tomb of Jesus. An egg appears to be like a stone tomb, but a bird then hatches from it, like Jesus rose from the grave.

This year, two groups are holding Easter Egg hunts on Saturday in Rye. 

If your child participates please send us a photo of your child with the Easter bunny or showing off his basket of eggs by texting the child's name and your name to Patch editor Liz Giegerich 914-486-0542. Or, you can upload the photo to this article by clicking "upload" under the photo from last year's egg hunt. You can also post your photo on our Facebook page here.
