Easter Sunday,
12 April
Easter, also known as Pascha (Greek, Latin) or Resurrection Sunday, is festival and holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, as described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day after his burial following his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary c. 30 AD.
Christians worldwide have celebrated Easter for centuries. The symbol of the cross and images of Jesus Christ, through paintings or statues, are remembered on Easter Day. Many Christians celebrate Easter Sunday as the day of Jesus Christ’s resurrection, which is written in the New Testament of the Christian bible. Most Christians refer to the week before Easter as "Holy Week"
According to the Gospel of John in the New Testament, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb where Jesus was buried and found it empty. An angel told her that Jesus had risen.
Christians worldwide celebrate Easter with special church services, music, candlelight, flowers and the ringing of church bells. Christians view Easter as the greatest feast of the Church year. It is a day of joy and celebration to commemorate that Jesus Christ is risen
Children's mostly think of it as a time to get new spring clothes, to decorate eggs and to participate in Easter egg hunts where eggs are hidden by the Easter Bunny. Easter eggs and the Easter Bunny are both fertility symbols, holdovers from the feast of Eostara.
Other symbolic parallels include the pagan joy in the rising sun of spring, which coincides with Christians’ joy in the rising Son of God, and the lighting of candles in churches, which corresponds to the pagan bonfires.
