Easter Sunday is one of the most significant holy days in Christianity, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, as described in the New Testament. The holiday concludes Holy Week, which includes Good Friday—the day traditionally observed as the crucifixion.
The date of Easter changes each year because it is based on the lunar calendar rather than a fixed date. Its timing is tied to the spring equinox and the Paschal full moon, placing it between March 22 and April 25.
Over time, Easter has also incorporated cultural and seasonal traditions celebrating renewal and spring. Symbols such as decorated eggs and rabbits are associated with themes of new life, while many communities observe the day through church services, family gatherings, and festive meals.
