Easter is a Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, as described in the New Testament of the Bible. It’s considered the most important and joyful event in the Christian calendar. Easter typically falls on a Sunday in spring, following Good Friday, which commemorates Jesus’ crucifixion.

Many people celebrate Easter with religious services, joyful gatherings, and symbolic traditions like decorating eggs, Easter egg hunts, and sharing festive meals. The egg, often painted or filled with treats, represents new life and rebirth, reflecting the meaning of the resurrection.
