Lentorama 2019: Resurrect My Globe!
Day 34: South Korea
South Korea has a small but significant (just under 28 percent) Christian population, so Easter is more visible than in many Asian countries but isn't a national holiday. Many of the typical Western trappings have made it over, though there's apparently an issue with decorating eggs, as most Korean eggs are brown. There is at least one effective, if not particularly eco-friendly, solution to this dilemma (though there are the occasional, more serious, problems with Easter eggs).
One thing that appears to be traditional is the large Easter service/rally at Yonsei University (a result of its heritage of Christian leadership and founding by various Protestant missionaries). I wasn't able to find too much information about the actual service, but odds are if you look at one of the "Easter around the world" slideshows you'll see either a picture of a large chorus or of large crowds outside attending the service.
