    EASTER

    BY: MARIANA
    History

    • Easter is a Christian holiday that celebrates the belief in the


    resurrection of Jesus Christ. In the New Testament of the Bible, the
    event is said to have occurred three days after Jesus was crucified by
    the Romans and died in roughly 30 A.D. The holiday concludes the
    “Passion of Christ,” a series of events and holidays that begins with
    Lent—a 40-day period of fasting, prayer and sacrifice—and ends with
    Holy Week
    When Is Easter 2021?

    • Easter 2021 occurs on Sunday, April 4. However, Easter falls on a


    different date each year.
    • Easter Sunday and related celebrations, such as Ash Wednesday and
    Palm Sunday, are considered “moveable feasts,” although, in
    western Christianity, which follows the Gregorian calendar, Easter
    always falls on a Sunday between March 22 and April 25. Easter
    typically falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon occurring on
    or after the spring equinox.
    • In Eastern Orthodox Christianity, which adheres to the Julian calendar,
    Easter falls on a Sunday between April 4 and May 8 each year.
    Why Is Easter Called ‘Easter’?

    • the English word "Easter" comes from Eostre, or Eostrae, the Anglo-


    Saxon goddess of spring and fertility. Other historians maintain the
    “Easter” derives from in albis, a Latin phrase that's pural for alba,
    or “dawn," that became eostarum in Old High German, a precursor to
    the English language of today.
    Easter eggs
    • It’s believed that eggs represented fertility and birth in certain pagan traditions that
    pre-date Christianity. Egg decorating may have become part of the Easter
    celebration in a nod to the religious significance of Easter, i.e., Jesus’ resurrection or
    re-birth.
    Easter Bunny
    • In some households, a character known as the Easter Bunny delivers candy and
    chocolate eggs to children on Easter Sunday morning. These candies often arrive in
    an Easter basket.
    • The exact origins of the Easter Bunny tradition are unknown, although some
    historians believe it arrived in America with German immigrants in the 1700s.
    Rabbits are, in many cultures, known as enthusiastic procreators, so the arrival of
    baby bunnies in springtime meadows became associated with birth and renewal.
