About April
In the northern part of the earth, April is a spring month; in the southern, it is a fall month. Perhaps Aphrodite, the goddess of love, inspired the choice of name. The Gregorian calendar’s fourth month, April, has 30 days. In the Northern Hemisphere, it is the second month of astronomical spring, while in the Southern Hemisphere; it is the second month of astronomical fall.
The Latin name for April is Aprilis. Because April is regarded as the month of the Sun and growth in the Northern Hemisphere, some historians argue that the word’s origins are in the Latin words aperire (to open) or apricus (sunny).
The Greek goddess of love, beauty, and conception Aphrodite is also credited with the etymology of April. Her name was Apru to the Etruscans. The same deity was honored in April by the Romans because they adopted many Etruscan traditions and stories.

How Easter is celebrated?
The distribution of Easter eggs is arguably one of the biggest Easter traditions in the UK. On Easter Sunday, chocolate eggs are handed to kids. These are typically wrapped in silver or gold paper, and they can either be empty or filled with something like a cream base.
Originally, birds’ eggs decorated in vibrant hues and designs were given as early Easter gifts. Egg painting is still practiced by some as a kid-friendly Easter hobby. Eggs are a symbol of fresh life born in the spring and are thought to have originated from the holiday’s early pagan customs.
Since the Easter weekend is the first time of the year that the weather is truly spring like, Easter celebrations typically include a lot of outside activities. This covers domestic travel, both for family visits and to visit popular tourist attractions. Therefore, make sure to plan far in advance to lock in the greatest prices on your travel and lodging.
