Easter

We celebrate Easter on the first Sunday after a full moon and following the vernal equinox. This holiday celebrates the miracle of Jesus Christ rising from the dead. Many have traditionally celebrated by going to church services and having a big family meal together. These days many celebrate the Holiday by painting hard boiled eggs and having Easter Egg Hunts which include finding candies and chocolates in addition to the painted eggs. Traditional colors associated with Easter are pastels – the lighter shades of color. One symbol of Easter is the Easter Bunny who brings the eggs and gifts. Easter has grown to be popular throughout the world and is celebrated by many.
