Easter celebration

Springtime religious holiday

An Easter celebration is any festivity or observance marking Easter, the Christian holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Such celebrations range from solemn church services to secular gatherings featuring egg hunts, baskets of candy, and visits from the Easter Bunny.

The whole family gathers for our annual Easter celebration.

The phrase is somewhat redundant since Easter itself is a celebration, but it emphasizes the communal or festive aspects of the occasion.
