Easter is a Christian festival that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is held on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the Spring Equinox, which usually falls in March or April. The date of Easter changes every year, but it always falls between 22 March and 25 April. The festival has been celebrated by Christians for centuries and was adopted by many other religions including Judaism and Islam.
When did Easter begin?
The origins of Easter are linked to Passover, which was an important Jewish holiday at the time of Jesus’s crucifixion. Passover commemorates God’s deliverance of his people from slavery in Egypt and involves celebrating with family and friends over a feast. It also includes elements from ancient pagan celebrations such as a spring fertility ritual.
