Easter traditions from around the world In Canada, decorating eggs and searching for chocolates on Easter are time-honoured tra- ditions. Here’s a look at how this holiday is celebrated in other countries around the world. AUSTRALIA FRANCE On Easter Monday, spectators gather to watch dozens of cooks make a giant 15,000- egg omelette in the main square of Bessières, a small village in southwest France. This tra- dition can be traced back to the time of Na- poleon Bonaparte.

Set aside 12 pieces of zuc- chini. Crumble a quarter of the feta cheese into each dish, then do the same with the green onions and the egg mixture.

This tradition, known as Scoppio del Carro , dates back more than 350 years. FINLAND Dressed up as witches in colourful clothes and heads- carves, children go door to door on Easter weekend wishing their neighbours a healthy year. In exchange for a willow twig decorated with feathers, the little wit- ches are given a chocolate or other treat.
DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C). Using a rolling pin, flatten the dough until it’s 1 centimetre thick, then cut it into 4 equal pieces. Place each piece in its own 10-centimetre pie pan. Using your fingers, gently press the dough into the shape of the dish. Cut away the excess, then prick the dough with a knife in a few places to prevent air bubbles from forming. Place the crusts in the oven for about 10 minutes. 2.
