In Zimbabwe, Holy Week (known as Easter Sunday in other countries) is one of the most popular festivals among tourists because the local culture heavily influences it; however, in Zimbabwe, they celebrate this holiday on the Saturday before Easter Sunday. As part of this celebration, children gather at the Botanical Garden of Harare in search of Easter eggs, chocolates and sweets. In Zimbabwe, nearly 85% of the population is Christian, including Protestants, Anglicans, and Roman Catholics. The religion also contains many elements which are historically associated with traditional religions.
