As you celebrate the Easter holidays with family this year, while you eat chocolate and tell stories about bunnies... do you ever stop and wonder... "Why are we doing this?" 

Welcome to "Afraid to Ask", and this week we're talking to Associate Professor Lorna Piatti-Farnell about EASTER. Why do we eat chocolate? What does it have to do with Jesus? What does the word 'Easter' even mean?

Let us know what you think, and don’t forget to submit your question at #askAUT

Let us answer all the questions you're afraid to ask. Each episode we ask experts the embarrassing questions you've been thinking about your whole life. What does the Queen even do? Why do triangle sandwiches taste better? What happens if you put hand cream on your face? They say there's no such thing as a stupid question, so it's time to put that theory to the test.

Afraid to Ask is brought to you by the Auckland University of Technology (AUT)
