Hi everyone, I am Georgiana, your English teacher and founder of speak Englishpodcast.com.

My mission is to help you to speak English fluently. Today, I will talk about something more festive.

I will talk about Easter and how Americans celebrate this holiday.

And with a fun mini-story, you will improve your English fluency by answering many questions in English.

Before we get started, I just wanted to say hi if you're new here. And if you are a

long-time listener, I want to thank you for supporting this show by sharing it with your friends and

family. Okay, let's start. Whenever Easter comes, everywhere I go, I see chocolate eggs and Easter bunny cakes.

But what do we celebrate on Easter?

Easter is a Christian holiday, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

The New Testament describes the resurrection occurring on the third day, after his burial,

following his crucifixion by the Romans on Calvary, around 30 AD.

Americans spent this holiday with friends and family, and some attend special services, held

in churches on Easter.

And while not all Americans observe the holiday from a spiritual point of view, Easter is

certainly one of the most celebrated holidays in the States.

And if there's one thing people love doing during the holidays, it's eating. Let's take a look at the

three most popular dishes at Easter. Let's start with the hot cross buns. These are a typical

Easter food. It's a sweet bread, seasoned with nutmeg, flavored with currants and apricots, and

covered with a lemon glaze.

Americans also enjoy a stuffed leg of lamb.

A delicious recipe, yet very easy to make, with parsley, garlic, bacon, and red wine.

Another very representative dish for this holiday is the honey butter ham.
