The Easter holiday is nearly here, which made us wonder just how American states differ in their interest of the holiday. Estately used Google Trends to determine what Easter and spring-related terms each state searched for more than any other. Clearly for some, Easter is very a religious holiday first a foremost. For others it’s more about decorating eggs and eating candy. A full accounting of the top terms for each state can be found below…
