Easter celebrations

Springtime Christian holiday

Easter celebrations are the customs and festivities marking Easter, the Christian holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

These range from religious observances—church services, passion plays, sunrise gatherings—to secular traditions like egg hunts, the Easter Bunny, and elaborate family meals.

The Easter celebrations in our town include a parade and community egg roll.
