Answer #1

Orthodox Easter comes later than Catholic Easter and there is a greeting with kisses on the forehead, “Christos ernesti” - Christ is arisen! During Easter in Protestant Sweden small girls dress as witches and go from door to door.

Answer #2

Im from the philippines. People here are largely catholic and what they usually observe during the lenten season is said in this site:

  • some extreme sacrifices are done by a few devouts. they nail themselves to the cross and some do self-flagellations.

  • we also hear old people chanting bible verses in our native language but they are sang using a tune.

  • the first day of the holy week (palm sunday), catholics also decorate their house with palaspas: http://en.wikipilipinas.org/index.php?title=Palaspas

  • I dunno about the easter eggs though. im not sure I have seen people here doing that kind of thing.

a lot of people go to the beach during holy week too.
