Easter
Spring Christian holiday
Easter is the Christian holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, observed on a Sunday in spring.
The date varies each year, calculated by a lunar formula.
Easter marks the end of Lent and is preceded by Good Friday.
Beyond its religious significance, Easter has secular associations: Easter eggs, Easter baskets, the Easter Bunny.
