About Easter
Easter is the most important Christian holiday, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. It marks the end of Lent, a 40-day period of fasting and penance, and the beginning of the Easter season. The date of Easter varies each year as it is calculated based on the lunar calendar, falling on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox.
