On Holy Thursday in the Medieval town of Verges, Spain, the traditional "dansa de la mort" or "death dance" is performed, according to the official website of Costa Brava, Span's coastal region where Verges is located. To reenact scenes from the Passion, everyone dresses in skeleton costumes and parades through the streets. The procession ends with frightening skeletons carrying boxes of ashes. The macabre dance begins at midnight and continues for three hours into the early morning.
Pouring water on one another is a Polish Easter tradition called Śmigus-dyngus, a.k.a. Wet Monday, according to Culture.pl, a cultural institution promoting Polish culture worldwide. On Easter Monday, people try to drench each other with buckets of water, sq**rt guns, or anything they can get their hands on. Legend says girls who get soaked on Wet Monday will marry within the year, The Culture Trip reported.
According to Visit Norway, Easter in the country is a popular time to read crime novels and ski. The tradition is said to have started in 1923 when a book publisher promoted its new crime novel on the front pages of newspapers. The ads resembled news so much that people didn't know it was a publicity stunt, so it received massive attention. And so the tradition was born.
Happy Easter!!! Start your day with a GIANT omelet!
Don't forget a fork if you're in this southern French town on Easter Monday. Each year a giant omelet is served up in the town's main square, according to Atlas Obscura. And when we say giant, we mean giant: The omelet uses more than 15,000 eggs and feeds up to 1,000 people. The story goes, when Napoleon and his army were traveling through the south of France, they stopped in a small town and ate omelets, the publication reported. Napoleon liked his so much that he ordered the townspeople to gather their eggs and make a giant omelet for his army the next day.

According to Condé Nast Traveler, Antigua in southern Guatemala covers its streets in colorful carpets throughout Holy Week in preparation for its Good Friday procession. The long carpets are made from flowers, colored sawdust, fruits, vegetables, and sand. They're often covered in scenes that are important to the artists who make them, ranging from religion to Mayan traditions to nature and Guatemalan history.
Children in this Scandinavian country dress up like witches and go begging for chocolate eggs in the streets with made-up faces and scarves around their heads, carrying bunches of willow twigs decorated with feathers. In some parts of Western Finland, people burn bonfires on Easter Sunday, a Nordic tradition stemming from the belief that the flames ward off witches who fly around on brooms between Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
On the morning of Holy Saturday, the traditional "pot throwing" takes place on the Greek island of Corfu, Reuters reported. People throw pots, pans, and other earthenware often filled with water out of their windows, smashing them on the street. Some say the custom derives from the Venetians, who on New Year's Day used to throw out all of their old items, the publication noted. Others believe the throwing of the pots welcomes spring, symbolizing the new crops that will be gathered in the new pots.
In 1991, Rabbit-Free Australia launched a campaign to replace the Easter bunny with the Easter bilby, or rabbit-eared bandicoot. Why the switch? In Australia, rabbits are widely considered pests for destroying crops and land. Companies now make chocolate bilbies for Easter, according to The Huffington Post, with proceeds benefiting the endangered animals.
Let's Go to Bermuda for Easter!
Celebrating Easter is a weekend affair on the beautiful British island. The festivities begin Friday with the Good Friday KiteFest, enjoyed by locals and visitors alike, according to Go to Bermuda, the island's travel site. People who want to celebrate take to parts of the island to show off and fly their homemade kites, often with bold geometric designs. Throughout the weekend, folks eat codfish and traditional hot cross buns. And on Easter Sunday, Bermudians attend sunrise services held on different peaches across the island.
