Rolling eggs at the White House

Children in Washington used to roll eggs on the lawns of the Capitol. In 1876 Congress made it illegal to use the Capitol grounds as a playground. Two years later, in 1878, President Rutherford B. Hayes and his wife Lucy brought the Easter egg roll to the White House lawn.

The game is a race. Each child pushes a hard boiled egg through the grass with a long spoon.

When to send it

Easter moves every year. The next Easter Sunday is on March 28, 2027. Orthodox churches use a different calendar and often celebrate on a later date.

Happy Easter in other languages

Easter is a big holiday across Europe, so a greeting in your friend's language is a kind touch. Type it in the "Short message" box.

In German it is "Frohe Ostern", in Spanish "Felices Pascuas", in Italian "Buona Pasqua" and in French "Joyeuses Pâques". Hungarians say "Kellemes húsvéti ünnepeket", which means "pleasant Easter holidays".

In Greece and Russia, people greet each other with "Christ is risen" on Easter Sunday. The answer is "Truly he is risen".

For a card that works for everyone, keep the bunny and the eggs and leave the religious words out.
