Easter is a time of springtime festivals. In Christian countries Easter is celebrated as the
religious holiday commemoratingthe resurrection of Jesus Christ, the son of God.
But the celebrations of Easter have many customs and legends that are pagan in origin
and have nothing to do with Christianity.


Traditions associated with the festival survive in the Easter rabbit, a symbol of fertility,
and in colored easter eggs, originally painted with bright colors to represent the sunlight
of spring, and used in Easter egg rolling contests or given as gifts.

The Christian celebration of Easter embodies a number of converging traditions with
emphasis on the relation of Easter to the Jewish festival of Passover, or Pesach, from
which is derived Pasch, another name used by Europeans for Easter. Passover is an
important feast in the Jewish calendar which is celebrated for 8 days and commemorates
the flight and freedom of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt.


Easter is observed by the churches of the West on the first Sunday following the full
moon that occurs on or following the spring equinox (March 21). So Easter became
a "movable" feast which can occur as early as March 22 or as late as April 25.
