Easter is a religious holiday of Christians. They celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Easter marks the end of Lent, which is a 40 day period. During this time they fast and pray. The last week of Lent is the Holy Week. Good Friday, when Jesus was crucified. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the foundation of the Christian faith.
Easter was originally a pagan festival that celebrated the beginning of Spring. The symbols of the celebration were eggs and rabbit.
But Christians adopted the pagan festival of Easter as a time to celebrate the risen of Christ.
