With Easter Sunday just one day away, we continue our series of Easter stories by asking Lewisham locals how much they really know about Easter’s origins.

Nearly half of all British children are clueless about the true meaning of Easter, according to a 2014 survey. Of the 2500 children surveyed, over a third thought Easter was about the birth of the Easter bunny, and a quarter thought it was about commemorating the invention of chocolate eggs.

Adults, surely, would know better, right? We hit the streets of Lewisham to see if age brought wisdom. See the results below.
