Many of us celebrate Easter every year whether for religious reasons or otherwise. With thousands enjoying a four day weekend, thanks to Good Friday and Easter Monday,  you might like to test just how much you actually know about the holiday.

Easter usually coincides with the return of nicer weather in the UK, perfect for heading outdoors on an Easter egg hunt. It’s reported that on Easter Sunday this year, some parts of the country will be warmer than Barcelona.

After Christmas, New Year’s and Valentine’s Day, Easter is the last widely-celebrated holiday until Halloween, which occurs more than six months later at the end of October. Good Friday was also the first bank holiday since January 2.
