During the day that began with a Holy Mass children searched for Easter eggs, they sang and danced. As part of a coulourful programme, they participated in other creative activities such as face painting, beads stringing or handicrafts. To preserve the Easter spirit in the following days, they received Easter packages prepared by a local grammar school.
