Many people are familiar with the holiday called Easter. Easter is a holiday that is mostly celebrated by Christians. They celebrate it because they believe that on Easter Jesus Rises from the dead.
I know that lots of children want to celebrate it like they have done it in the past. Yet, this year it is probably not possible to go Easter egg hunts at the parks or similar places due to the coronavirus. If you're sad that you can’t go Easter egg hunt, don't worry. I have some Easter ideas you can do at home.

Also, you might not be able to attend church on Easter day because they are closed too. If you're sad that you can’t go Easter egg hunt, don't worry. I have some Easter ideas you can do at home.
You can still have an Easter egg hunt at home. With help from your parents, you can use or create a single box or an Easter Basket to place eggs in. You can place real eggs or plastic eggs if you can find them around your house from last Easter. You can also tell your parents to make a treasure hunt but with real eggs. You may also get creative and decorate them. Your parents can hide them around the house or in the backyard and give you clues to find them.
I know you can’t go to church. You can still pray at home and connect with those who you believe in.
I am very sorry that some of you did not get to celebrate Easter in a way that you used to. But this is a different situation. You are staying at home because it is important to the safety and health of you and of others in the community. I hope that next Easter is better.
Same as Easter, Muslims also have their religious holidays and festivals. Ramadan and Eid are among a few religious events that Muslims will celebrate beginning in a few weeks. Ramadan this year starts on April 23 until May 23.
In Ramadan, we fast from dawn to dust for about 30 days. Ramadan comes to an end by the end of the lunar calendar month, which is also the beginning of 3-day Eid. On Eid days, we celebrate the end of Ramadan at the Mosque, wearing new clothes. A day before Ramadan, girls and their moms get together for a Henna party. On Eid days, people of different races and countries come along and have a good time.
Sadly, this year we cannot go to the Mosque for Ramadan, and we may not go to the parties for Eid the same way we have done it in the past years. And it is due to the Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19. The health officials have said we should limit contact with each other. So, I know that it is a hard time, and it is extremely unpleasant for us not to have some of our traditions for Ramadan and Eid, but we need to keep each other safe, and that's a good cause.
If you are not familiar with COVID-19, it is the new virus that is spreading across the globe. It is very dangerous for grandparents and people with medical issues, but we also know that people with a weak immune system cannot fight this virus, but people with an immune system that is too strong can hurt their blood cells, and that can lead to death. So, I know that it is a hard time, but I encourage you all to stay in your homes and hope that next Easter, Ramadan, and Eid will be much better. Another important thing, there is no current cure for COVID-19. So, we will remain careful until they make a vaccine or a cure, or it goes away on its own.
