Easter Sunday celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ and is the most important holiday in the Christian liturgical calendar. Unlike most holidays, Easter does not have a fixed date — it falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the spring equinox.
This means Easter can occur between March 22 and April 25. Secular traditions include Easter egg hunts, the Easter Bunny, and springtime celebrations.
