Easter traditions in Sri Lanka
It’s fair to say that as a Buddhist, Muslim and Hindu country, Easter celebrations are few and far between in Sri Lanka, although there is an exception in the charming capital city of Colombo and the coastal regions – where a variety of nationalities reside. Colombo will host the meeting of the Catholic Dominican priest and the Anglican bishop of Colombo as they join forces for weeklong celebration ceremonies in the Colombo Cathedral. A family-friendly excursion for all to enjoy. For a change of scenery and head to the scenic yet stunning coastal towns for evenings full of festivities. Forget chocolate eggs, as locals will put on a three-hour acting performance of Christ’s life – an unmissable experience that is worth the trip.
