Yes. Australia is a country founded on Christianity, so many Christians remember Good Friday and celebrate Easter Sunday with church services. There are also hot cross buns, chocolate eggs and Easter bunnies (even Easter bilbies).

It symbolizes the cross on which Jesus was crucified.

Easter Day is the first Sunday after the full moon which happens on, or after the 21st day of March, and if the full moon happens on a Sunday, Easter is the Sunday after.

Catholics are required to receive Holy Communion at least once a year between the First Sunday of Lent and Trinity Sunday. This is basically the liturgical time period surrounding Easter, thus it is called "Easter Duty".

A natural pink dye for eggs can be made using beets, cranberries or juice, raspberries, red grape juice, or juice from pickled beets.

If you wish to make hard-boiled Easter eggs, boil the eggs in water with the dye material and a tablespoon of vinegar, and then simmer for about 15 minutes.

If making pysanky, soak the eggs in the juice or a boiled fruit/vegetable solution (with added vinegar).

The anagram of cavalry related to Easter is Calvary. Calvary is a hill near Jerusalem where it is believed Jesus was crucified.

Many western countries incorporate the concept of Easter bunnies delivering Easter eggs. This tradition hails originally from Germany, so it is countries with Germanic/British roots which have this custom. It does not exist traditionally in the rest of the west, although, through children's television, the Easter Bunny is making some inroads into other cultures.

Easter bunny believing countries include the UK, USA, Canada, Germany, New Zealand and Australia (although there are moves to try to promote an Easter bilby, as proceeds from sales go to the preservation of this endangered creature).

Most European (and western) cultures decorate eggs for Easter, usually by simply dyeing them one color. Ukraine and other Eastern European countries have a long history of more intricate egg decoration in the spring. You can find out more about Ukrainian eggs, called Pysanky, in the "Pysanky Egg Art" section of Wiki Answers, under Hobbies and Collectibles/Arts and Crafts (see link below).

The giving of Easter eggs has transcended political borders, though not necessarily religious borders. For example, the countries most likely to celebrate with eggs and bunnies are those where Christianity has made the greatest inroads - but again, it is not limited to these countries. In general, it can be said that cultures and traditions that were once restricted to particular countries are crossing borders with increasing regularity. Countries around the world are seeing a flow-on effect of some festivals and holidays, not only with the spread of western influences, but also with the spread of Christianity. Thus, you will find a prevalence of Easter eggs and Easter bunnies in countries such as Japan, China and many other Asian nations.

Countries of the Middle East are not exempt from the traditions, with Easter eggs (along with Easter bunnies and Easter cakes) being found in Israel. Saudi Arabia even markets a "date-filled Easter egg". African Christians celebrate Easter with joy, in particular remembering Christ's death and resurrection, but they also embrace the practice of giving Easter eggs. Easter celebrations are also important to the more remote Pacific nations and, by association, Easter eggs and bunnies have become part of those celebrations.

It will be April 24, which is the same day as the Western Easter.

During Lent, which is the forty day season that is specified as a preparation for Easter. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday.

To hold all your Easter goodies in.

It takes about 7 to 8 minutes to hard boil a medium size hens egg, an extra minute or two will do no harm is all you are going to do is paint the egg. If you need to be sure it is hard boiled then all you need to do is spin the egg on a flat surface, if it is hard boiled it will spin on end, because the contents are solid, if it is only part cooked then it will wobble because part of the egg is still liquid.

No, not every country celebrates Christmas. Countries like Israel do not. It depends on the culture of the country. Some countries like Germany, USA, Canada almost everyone celebrates it.

Its different for different people but the best value is Girlfriend or Supre, my faves are Elmo, Domo and Hello Kitty 1.

Brown eggs will dye just like any other color of egg. Brown chicken egg shells are a bit thicker and sometimes glossier. They take longer to dye, and thus may need a longer soak in vinegar rinse prior to dyeing. The colors will look quite different as well. Brown eggs cannot be made white unless you "etch" the shell using vinegar. Brown eggs are quite lovely, and look nice with colors such as yellow, orange, brick, brown, and black.
