For many Eastern Europeans working abroad, Easter is a mix of joy and reflection. Whether you’re in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, or Spain, the holiday brings memories of home, family traditions, and a sense of community. But for those spending Easter far from loved ones, it’s also a time of emotional connection — and sometimes, a fresh start.

How is Easter celebrated across Europe?

In Germany, Easter traditions include decorating the Osterbaum (Easter tree), dyeing eggs, and gathering with family. Eastern European workers — from Romania to Poland — often attend Orthodox or Catholic churches and celebrate together within their communities.

In the Netherlands, Easter (Pasen) focuses on springtime activities like outdoor brunches and Easter egg hunts. If you’re living or working there, it’s a perfect time to explore how Dutch traditions blend with those from home.

In Spain, the Easter period is known for its spectacular Semana Santa processions. Thousands fill the streets, while Eastern European communities also mark the holiday with church services and traditional meals.

Between missing home and finding connection – Easter abroad

For many, Easter abroad brings a strong feeling of missing home. While some workers can travel back, others stay to work — particularly in industries like agriculture, production, or construction, where schedules don’t pause for holidays.

Even so, moments of connection are possible. Many migrant workers celebrate with friends, cook traditional meals, or attend local church services. A simple video call to family or a shared table with colleagues can make all the difference.
