Special guests to the EASTER LUNCH: 

              OUR MASCOTS!

Hi, my name is Gaia and I’m from Italy! 

My name is Meritxell and I'm from Spain!

My name is Basia and I'm from Poland!

Today is Easter Day and I have a special lunch with my friends from Poland and Spain!

Mmm…. I would like to prepare something delicious for them… some traditional Easter meals in Italy….
What about ……. I'VE GOT IT!

For Easter lunch we usually have boiled eggs, roasted lamb and we eat colomba and chocolate Easter eggs as desserts

ROASTED LAMB 

BOILED EGGS

the boiled egg is the symbol of eternal life, because it has no start and no end

the lamb is the symbol of Jesus Christ

COLOMBA

EASTER EGG

Colomba and Easter eggs are typical Easter cakes; they symbolize peace and eternity! There is always a surprise inside the eggs!

Hi. My name is Meritxell and I am from Catalonia, a region in Spain. I am very happy to celebrate Easter with you. 

In Catalonia, we have lunch outdoors on Easter Monday. We normally have barbecue but we want to share with you our special dessert: A cake called MONA! 

This is a traditional mona

On Easter Monday we eat some food with the family and the godfather or godmother gives the mona as a present to the children.

Nowadays, the Mona is a big cake with lots of decorations. 

The best decorations are the chocolate figures on top of the cake. 

Food shops are full of MONAs and chocolate figures.
