Easter Sunday is a Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, which is a central event in Christian theology. It is celebrated on the Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox, typically falling between late March and late April.
According to Christian belief, Jesus was crucified and buried in a tomb on Good Friday, and on the third day after his death, which is now celebrated as Easter Sunday, he rose from the dead. This event is considered a miracle and a testament to Jesus' divinity and power over death, and it is the foundation of the Christian faith.
Easter Sunday is a joyful day of celebration for Christians around the world. Many attend special church services, often featuring hymns, prayers, and the reading of the biblical account of the resurrection. Some churches also hold sunrise services, which are often held outdoors and feature music and prayers as the sun rises.
Easter Sunday is also associated with a number of traditions and customs, such as the Easter egg, which is a symbol of new life and rebirth. Many people decorate and color eggs, and they are often given as gifts or used in Easter egg hunts. Other Easter symbols include the Easter bunny, which is a symbol of fertility and new life, and Easter lilies, which are associated with purity and renewal.
In many countries, Easter Sunday is a public holiday, and businesses and government offices may be closed. It is a time for families and friends to come together, often for special meals or gatherings, and to celebrate the hope and promise of new life that is associated with the holiday.
