Easter is one of the central holidays, or Holy Days, of Christianity.
It honors the Resurrection of Jesus three days after His death by crucifixion.
For many Christian churches, Easter is the joyful conclusion to the Lenten season of devoted prayer, fasting and penitence.
Along with the Nativity of Christ, Easter is one of the most important celebrations in the Christian calendar.
It is when Christians glorify and give thanks for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
After His crucifixion, death, and burial, Christ rose from the grave three days late.
In Western Christianity it marks the second day of the Octave of Easter; in Eastern Christianity, it marks the second day of Bright Week.
In some countries, it's a public holiday, giving families time to relax and enjoy spring activities.
