Hi guys,

I have a question about which preposition should I use with "Easter holiday".

Do I say:

Thanks in advance!

At easter/at Christmas são bem mais adequados. A preposição "on" soa estranho.

Ex: We´ll travel at Easter.(Vamos viajar na Páscoa.)

Complementando,
AT + religious festivals e.g. At Easter, we give Easter Eggs
At Thanksgiving, some people use fancy dress.


ON + special commemorative days e.g. On Christmas Eve, we hang our stockings up
E.g. On Easter Sunday, we went to visit my grandmother.
