Easter is a Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The word “Easter” comes from the Old English word Eostre, which refers to the goddess of spring and fertility in Germanic mythology. The holiday is celebrated on the first Sunday after the full moon in April, which is why there are sometimes two Easters in a year (one in March and one in April). Many Christians choose to celebrate Easter by attending church services and/or going on a religious retreat. Others celebrate with family and friends at home by eating special meals or exchanging gifts.
The origins of Easter date back to ancient times when people celebrated the spring equinox (the day when night and day are equal). The spring equinox was seen as a time for rebirth because it marks the beginning of spring, when plants begin to grow again after being dormant all winter long. People also celebrated this time because it was believed that their gods were returning from their winter sleep at this time as well!
