Easter in the USA

Speaking matter of factly it seems to be hardly realistic that the procedure of celebrating one of the world's biggest catholic holidays may differentiate somehow in the USA. Nevertheless after investigation of this issue I came to the conclusion that American citizens thrived to impart their peculiar sweep to this festivity. Actually I tried to gather some specially interesting facts yet not known about the Easter celebration in the USA.
