Easter Sunday
Easter Sunday is the central feast of the Christian year. It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus on the third day after his crucifixion, as told in the four Gospels, and it ends the penitential season of Lent and Holy Week. Many Christians regard it as the greatest of all feasts, and the Easter Vigil and the services on Sunday morning are among the most elaborate of the year, with new members baptised in many churches. Its date moves every year, which in turn sets the dates of Lent, Ash Wednesday, Ascension and Pentecost.
Around the religious core, Easter has gathered customs that are shared even by people who do not attend church: painted or chocolate eggs, hot cross buns and sweet breads, lamb dishes, spring flowers, and in some countries egg hunts and bonfires. Because Western and Orthodox churches calculate the date differently, two Easters exist side by side in many years, and countries with both traditions may observe both. In 2027 Western Easter is on 28 March and Orthodox Easter on 2 May. In many countries the weekend also opens a school break, and spring travel peaks around it.
