Holidays Around the World: Celebrate Easter

With Colored Eggs, Flowers, and Prayer




Part of the Holidays Around the World series, Celebrate Easter combines National Geographic's standards for vivid imagery and informative text with a global perspective on this major Christian holiday. The subject of holidays is in the second and third grade curriculum. This fantastic resource is now reprinted with added common core-aligned activities for further classroom learning.

The joyous celebration of Easter is seen through a global perspective in this National Geographic volume featuring over 25 vibrant photographs. Witness the holiest day on the Christian calendar as it is celebrated throughout the world: from the famous Easter Egg Roll at the White House to the traditional bonfires throughout Europe, to colorful customs, to the universally popular dying of eggshells worldwide.

The first-person narrative leads young readers through the origins and traditions of this springtime festival of rebirth and hope. Reverend George Handzo gives parents and teachers a historical and cultural background in his informative note.

National Geographic supports K-12 educators with ELA Common Core Resources.
