00:00Hello and welcome to Manchester World. My name is Steve Houston Betts and today I'm out on the streets of Manchester asking people about tradition.
00:06Specifically related to Good Friday and the Easter period.
00:09Now in the UK we have less practicing Christians than we have had previously.
00:13So stuff like eating fish on the Friday might not be something that every family picks up now.
00:17But they might instead go on a big Easter egg hunt.
00:19So we want to find out what those traditions are. Let's go see what they say.
00:22But yeah, I think it's very much just the cheap chocolate.
00:25Yeah, it's just, it's the same as Valentine's.
00:28Yeah, the 15th of February is cheap chocolate.
00:30Easter, Valentine's, Halloween.
00:33Boxing day.
00:34Boxing day, cheap chocolate.
00:35So I'm half Serbian so on our Easter one of the traditions, I don't know if this is just Serbians.
00:42I've met Russian people that do it too.
00:44But they dye eggs, like hard-boiled eggs.
00:46And then the game is you like smash the other person's egg with your egg.
00:50And then the loser has to eat all the egg to flop.
00:53Oh no.
00:54I never lose it.
00:56Yeah.
00:57It's a bit like Conkers.
00:58Yeah.
00:59Conkers with colourful eggs.
01:00Yeah.
