Easter
Easter is a major Christian holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, symbolizing hope, renewal, and new life, and is observed on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox. It blends sacred traditions like church services with joyful secular customs rooted in ancient symbols of spring and fertility, including the Easter Bunny—a folkloric figure originating from German traditions that "delivers" colored eggs, candies, and gifts to children, representing fertility due to rabbits' prolific nature. Central to the festivities are Easter eggs, which signify new life and are dyed, decorated, or made of chocolate, often hidden for exciting egg hunts. Families also exchange Easter baskets filled with treats, enjoy special meals featuring lamb or ham, and incorporate symbols like Easter lilies and hot cross buns, making Easter a vibrant celebration of faith, family, and the arrival of spring.
