We have Easter on the 30th, and Palm Sunday tomorrow (obviously). The kids have made "palmpaasstokken", probably a Dutch custom. They're like portable maypoles decorated with candy and raisins and paper streamers, with a rooster made of bread on top, to be blessed in church - Catholic kids have processions with them, but we have only about five kids the right age (able to walk with a palmpaasstok in their hand and under 10) in our parish and the procession is only from the back of the church to the front where the blessing is to take place. After the service all the goodies are eaten, of course.
