Another significant holiday for Christians is Easter. Easter, also known as Resurrection Sunday or Pasch, is a holiday and festival commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This day occurs three days after the Romans crucified him at Calvary, according to the New Testament. This holiday, which also signifies the end of Christ's Passion, precedes Lent, the 40-day period of fasting, repentance, and prayer. During Easter, the festival of the rebirth of life and living, Easter eggs and Easter bunnies are a major attraction.

Easter Traditions ✨

Days like Maundy Thursday and the Easter Triduum occur during the holy week or the week leading up to Easter. The first Sunday of the Pascha season is typically when people celebrate Easter, which is a mobile feast. It is connected to the Jewish holiday of Passover as well. The Christian community has a very diverse range of Easter customs. Some people participate in sunrise services, decorate Easter eggs, and exchange Paschal greetings. some people concentrate on Easter Parades.

When it is celebrated?

Easter falls between the end of March and the end of April on average, though the dates vary from year to year. Easter Sunday falls on the first Sunday following the first full moon of spring. Easter is calculated slightly differently by the Eastern Orthodox churches, which follow a different calendar, and they typically observe Easter a day or two earlier or later.

💫 How is Easter celebrated? 💫

During Holy Week, there are religious processions in many nations, and Christians who practice their faith attend special church prayers. To celebrate the day that Jesus arrived in Jerusalem, many churches bless palm branches on Palm Sunday, and participants lay them on the ground as they march. On Maundy Thursday, Christians around the world participate in Communion, a time when they share bread and wine, to commemorate the Last Supper. Good Friday is typically observed as a day of fasting, introspection, and mourning.

Easter celebrations often include eggs. In the past, people used to decorate and paint chicken eggs before giving them as gifts. The traditional Easter eggs are no longer as common as they once were, especially among young people. In order for kids to find them during an Easter egg hunt, they are frequently hidden around the house and garden.

In most countries, the name for Easter is derived from the word Passover. In French it is Paques; in Spanish, Pascua, and in Italian, Pasqua. The word ‘Easter’ comes from the name for an Anglo-Saxon pagan goddess, Eostre, who was celebrated in Spring. In Germany, the festival is called Ostern because there the goddess is named Ostara. The association of eggs with Easter is very ancient and the origins are not clear. But eggs – and rabbits – are thought to be symbols of new life at springtime and Easter is the celebration of Jesus’ resurrection and the new life or fresh start that people receive when they become Christians.

Why do we celebrate easter?

Easter is a Christian festival that officially starts on Ash Wednesday and includes the 40 days of Lent, which is a period of fasting or giving up something for many people, before Holy Week. In many churches throughout the world, Easter actually lasts for an entire week. For many Christians, giving alms is a major part of Lent, and during this time, they increase their donations of food, money, and other items. Easter is a time to celebrate everyone's love, joy, and feasting as we remember the actions God made to make it possible for us to approach Him and find reconciliation.

“Whatever you do for Easter, I hope it is a time of relaxation, happiness, and hope for a better future”

How do we celebrate Easter?

Easter is celebrated in many different ways by people, such as going to church, giving and receiving gifts, having festive feasts with loved ones, and going on Easter egg hunts. Fancy dress for Easter is a well-liked custom that gives the occasion a playful and enjoyable feel. In India, Easter is celebrated by going to church, cooking a good meal for the family, decorating eggs, and exchanging gifts. Easter gifts are a significant symbol of renewal because Easter occurs in the spring. The Easter Bunny is sometimes associated with Santa Claus, the man who distributes gifts to all.

How long is Easter Celebrated?

The second-longest liturgical season is that of Easter. The only thing longer is regular time. The feast of Pentecost, which commemorates the day that Scripture says the Holy Spirit fell upon the Apostles, marks the culmination of the Church's 50-day celebration of Easter.

What is the rule of Easter fasting?

Catholics are only permitted to eat one large meal and two smaller meals on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, which together would not equal a single regular meal. Furthermore, meat is prohibited for Catholics on these two days as well as on any Friday throughout Lent.

During a fast, meat, eggs, and dairy products should be avoided. But along with our meals, we should consume legumes, fruits, vegetables, grains, bread, seafood, potatoes, and wine. Occasionally, we should also have halva as a fasting dessert.
