Easter is a religious holiday for Christians all over the world. But Easter also has some more secular traditions that are unique to countries around the globe. Here are some unique ways that different nations celebrate Easter:

• In Bulgaria, rather than having an Easter egg hunt, the activity with eggs takes on a different twist - they have an egg fight instead! The member of the family who ends up with an unbroken egg is believed to be the most successful person for the year.

• In England, an event called "Hare Pie Scramble and Bottle Kicking" takes place. The story behind this event tells of a woman who was saved from the path of a charging bull by a hare hundreds of years ago on Easter Monday. Today, a hare pie made with specific ingredients is baked and is marched through a procession. This procession includes three "bottles" that are actually small barrels. Two of the bottles are used in a bottle kicking match that takes place between locals on that same day.

• Greece holds a public procession on Easter Sunday that involves tapping together red eggs, dyed for the color of Christ's blood. One person will announce, "Christ is risen.", while another person responds, "Truly He is risen."
