Independent study resource, not a BAMF website. Translations are study aids; the exam is in German.
Quick explanation
Painting eggs is an Easter custom in Germany.
Why is this correct?
Colourful Easter eggs are a symbol of new life and are painted, given as gifts and hidden for children at Easter.
Background
Easter is the most important Christian festival: Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. Good Friday and Easter Monday are public holidays. Before Easter, many families paint eggs and decorate branches with them. On Easter Sunday, parents often hide eggs and sweets in the garden or flat, and the children look for them – according to the story, the Easter Bunny brought them. In some regions there are also Easter bonfires.
Why are the other answers wrong?
Pumpkins are placed outside the door at Halloween, a fir tree is decorated at Christmas, and fireworks are set off on New Year’s Eve.
Memory tip
Easter = eggs and the Easter Bunny.
