About Easter Sunday
Easter Sunday celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ and is the central feast of the Christian year. Its date is calculated from the first full moon after the spring equinox. Western churches use the Gregorian calendar and most Orthodox churches the Julian calendar for this calculation, so they often celebrate Easter on different Sundays, although the dates sometimes coincide.
Traditions
Christians attend church services, and families come together for a festive meal. Decorated eggs are a common symbol of the day, and many countries have their own special breads, cakes and egg games associated with Easter.
