The Easter holiday is a Christian celebration that commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It’s traditionally celebrated on a Sunday in April or May, and it can fall on any date between March 22nd and April 25th. While many Christians mark the holiday by attending church services, there are also other ways to celebrate the occasion. Some people have Easter egg hunts, while others go on spring break trips or host brunch parties.
What is Easter?
Easter is one of the most important holidays in Christianity, as it marks the day when Jesus Christ was resurrected after his crucifixion. According to Christian belief, he was crucified at Golgotha on Friday and then rose from the dead three days later on Sunday. In some countries, such as Greece and Italy, Orthodox Christians celebrate Easter a week later than Western Christians because they use different calendars.
When did Easter begin?
Easter has been celebrated for over 2,000 years since its first recorded observance in Jerusalem around 33 AD. The name “Easter” comes from Eostre (or Ostara), an ancient Germanic goddess who gave her name to springtime celebrations around this time of year.
