Germans color eggs green on Maundy Thursday and carry then! all day for good luck. In Spain, faster day^is celebrated with dancing and, bull flights, white religious processions mark Good Friday. Children in Denmark and Norway trim birch branches with paper streamers on Shrove Tuesday and playfully beat their elders until they receive hot cross buns.
