Wearside's past is filled with wonderful and colourful Easter traditions. But we are wondering how many you joined in with over the years.
Maybe you had a go at an egg jarping challenge or rolled an egg down Penshaw Hill. We've got welly flinging and a Whitburn Easter race which raised eyebrows.
Or perhaps you took part in the Good Friday services, or raising of the cross on Tunstall Hills?
They all make up a vital part of our Easter heritage as these Echo photos show.
