In the UK, Easter time sees shops filled with chocolate Easter eggs the size of the average three-year-old, while us adults are transported back to our childhood with images of the Easter Bunny bearing chocolatey gifts - a vision that floods the mind of every chocoholicolic.
But what are the Easter traditions around the world? And like the Easter Bunny, who delivers the eggs? Language learning app Babbel have compiled this simple guide:
Australia
Did you know that in Australia rabbits are considered pests? The Bilby (a small marsupial resembling a rabbit) has actually dethroned the Easter Bunny, so down under it's the 'Easter Bilby' who takes care of the handing out the gifts. The Bilby was introduced in place of the Bunny to increase awareness because this species is actually endangered in its native country.
Norway
To many Norwegians, Easter is more important than Christmas and is celebrated in a big way. Homes are decorated with Easter chickens ('Påskekyllinger'), as chickens are a symbol of fertility, and they eat chocolate Easter eggs ('Påskeegg') too. The Easter Bunny is actually a relatively new addition in Norway, having only brought chocolate and candy in recent years.
France
There's a lovely Easter story that is told to children: Since no church bells ring in France from Good Friday to Easter Sunday, legend has it that all the bells fly to Rome on Good Friday. There they are blessed, and return on Easter Sunday loaded with chocolate eggs and other sweets. It's on their way back that the bells drop the treats over the cities and villages in France for the children to find.
Sweden
In addition to the Easter Bunny, an old tradition is the so-called Easter Witch ('Påskkärring'). In Sweden children dress up as witches or old ladies and go from house to house with hand drawn pictures in hope of receiving some sweets in exchange for their hard work.
U.S.
It is said that the Easter Bunny entered America in the 1700s along with German immigrants who settled there. The Germans brought with them the tradition of a hare that laid coloured eggs, called Osterhase, which their children would make nests for. This eventually evolved into the Easter Bunny, whose gifts now include sweet treats and chocolate.
