Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday is a Christian holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. It falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox, typically between March 22nd and April 25th. This movable feast represents hope, new life, and redemption, symbolising Jesus’s victory over sin and death. While the date changes each year, the message remains constant, emphasising eternal life through Christ.


Easter Sunday customs differ worldwide. Western countries hold Easter egg hunts, church services and exchange chocolate eggs and cards. While Eastern Orthodox Christians, in countries like Greece and Russia, hold midnight church services and crack red eggs, symbolising the resurrection. Latin American nations hold processions and reenactments of the Passion of Christ, including his tortuous journey to his place of execution. Regardless of cultural variations, Easter Sunday unites Christians in commemorating this pivotal event in their religion.
