Those are hot cross buns and they are very, very tasty. Question seven. What is the name of the National Day of Remembrance in Australia, New Zealand and Tonga? That falls on April 25th. That would be Anzac Day, which stands for Australia, New Zealand Armed Corpse. Not sure why Tonga doesn't get a mention in there. Okay. Question eight. What? Spring? Hindu holiday is known as the festival of Colors that is holy. And question nine, where is the Easter Lilly capital of the world? That is Smith River, California. This fertile area is located in the far northwest corner of California, and it's home to less than 900 residents, but it produces about 95% of the world's Easter lily bulbs, which is pretty incredible.
