About Easter
Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ and is the central feast of the Christian year. It falls on a Sunday in spring, calculated from the first full moon after the spring equinox. Western churches use the Gregorian calendar for this calculation and most Orthodox churches use the Julian calendar, so the two often celebrate Easter on different dates, though in some years they coincide.
Traditions
Christians attend Easter services, many of which begin on the night before. Decorated or dyed eggs are a widespread symbol of new life, and families gather for a festive meal that often features lamb, special breads and cakes. Many local customs, from egg games to processions, accompany the feast.
