What is a custom in Germany at Easter?
- A Place pumpkins in front of the door
- B Decorate a Christmas tree
- C Paint eggs ✓ Correct answer
- D Launch rockets into the air
Explanation
A common German Easter custom is painting and decorating eggs. Christmas trees belong to Christmas, fireworks to New Year's Eve, and pumpkins to autumn or Halloween, not Easter.
Tips
- Eggs signal Easter, trees signal Christmas, fireworks signal New Year's Eve.
- Pumpkins are an autumn or Halloween symbol, not an Easter one.
