I really don't think that when Jesus asked us to remember him, he wanted people to actually crucify themselves in his name on Good Friday.

In happier Easter traditions, apparently in Belgium there is a belief that all the church bells fly to Rome and come back with Easter eggs which they drop en route in their flight. This leads to a wonderful mental image of "Everyone duck! The bells are flying overhead!"
Also, in Norway, it is traditional to solve murder mysteries and play Yahtzee on Easter weekend.
