TODAY IS EASTER SUNDAY
Easter is celebrated by many Christians to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Special church services are held, and in some countries there are processions. Christian beliefs of the holiday are coupled with pagan traditions.
During pagan times there were spring festivals that celebrated the rebirth of nature—of new vegetation and young animals. This is how eggs and bunnies became associated with the holiday. The day’s name is thought to have come from Eostara, also known as Ostara, who was the goddess of rebirth.
The decorating of eggs is a common Easter tradition. The eggs may be hard-boiled to be eaten later or may be made of plastic, chocolate, or other materials. Easter egg hunts are common, sometimes being organized by businesses or churches, where eggs are hidden for children, who are told it was the work of the Easter Bunny. Easter egg baskets are also often given to children, and regularly include candy, eggs, and other gifts.
Easter takes place on the Sunday after the full moon following the spring equinox. This was decided at the Council of Nicea in 325 CE
