Easter

Easter is a Christian holiday celebrating Jesus Christ's resurrection. Many churches hold Easter Vigil services late on Holy Saturday to usher in Easter Sunday, the most important day in the Christian calendar. While Easter traditions like decorating and hunting for eggs have pagan roots representing fertility, they are now commonly associated with Easter. Some families have their children's Easter baskets delivered by the Easter Bunny, a symbol of new life in springtime.
