Easter is a Christian holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The celebration dates back to the early centuries of Christianity, when it was held on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox. However, there are many different traditions and practices associated with Easter celebrations around the world. For example, in some countries people celebrate Easter by painting eggs or hunting for Easter eggs, while in others they celebrate by eating chocolate rabbits or colored jelly beans.
The origins of Easter are a bit murky, but most scholars agree that it is based on pagan traditions. One of these customs was to celebrate spring with an egg hunt around March 21st and then again around April 1st to mark the arrival of spring and warmer weather. In pre-Christian times, Germanic pagans would even hold feasts where they would sacrifice a hare as part of their celebrations.
