While the rest of the world celebrates the heralding of Spring, here in the southern hemisphere Easter time is on Autumn’s door.
Whether it’s for the religious festival or a chance to spend time with loved ones, Easter is one of the most widely celebrated holiday seasons across Australia. And that’s not just because in all states and territories, Good Friday and Easter Monday are public holidays that create a 4-day long weekend that we get to gorge on chocolate. Hooray!
Easter in Australia, which falls on March 31st in 2024, is a time to welcome the cooler weather of Autumn, snuggle up in winter pyjamas, read sweet Easter stories and spend time with the people we love.
