The document compares how Easter is celebrated in the United States versus Spain. In the US, Easter is celebrated on just Easter Sunday rather than for an entire week as in Spain. The focus in the US is less on religion and more on symbols of new life like chocolate Easter eggs, bunnies, and chicks. Americans often get together with family for a large meal and some may attend church in the morning on Easter Sunday.
