Easter Sunday

Easter is the most important Christian holiday, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox, making it a moveable feast. Traditions include Easter eggs, the Easter Bunny, egg hunts, and special church services. Many countries observe a long weekend from Good Friday through Easter Monday. The holiday also marks the end of Lent, a 40-day period of fasting and reflection.
