How is easter celebrated in the Caribbean?

Most of the residents attend church on Easter Sunday. Feasts of turkey or duck are served when Easter is over, marking the end of abstaining from meat for many.

People in Poland take coloring and decorating eggs far beyond what many countries do. In Poland, decorating eggs is a craft. Many traditional Polish symbols such as the lamb, cross and Easter greetings adorn the eggs.
Eggs decorated with treated wax are called Pisanki. Gluing colored paper or shiny fabric onto the eggs is another technique used. Malowanki or kraszanki eggs are painted one color. Etching patterns into the paint with a sharp instrument creates eggs called skrobanki or rysowanki.
