It's Easter Sunday! For Christians, Easter Sunday or Easter Day is the most important feast of the year.
Resurrection Sunday is another name for Easter, or Pascha in Greek or Latin. It commemorates Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead three days after His crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary, also known as Golgotha. Easter is a celebration of the triumph of new life over death, whether in nature or in spirit.
Easter marks the end of Lent and, for some, the end of fasting. Easter Sunday is celebrated by many Christians around the world with special church services, music, candlelight, flowers, and the ringing of church bells. Many churches begin Easter Sunday celebrations at Midnight on Easter Eve.
Sunrise services, exclaiming the Paschal greeting, clipping the church, and decorating Easter eggs as a symbol of the empty tomb are among the Easter customs practised throughout the Christian world. Some countries, such as the Philippines and Spain, hold Easter processions. Many Italian towns and villages have sacred dramas based on the events of the Easter story. On Easter Sunday, these are held in the piazzas.
Churches are decorated with flowers to symbolise new life on Easter. The Easter lily, a symbol of the resurrection, is traditionally used to decorate church chancels on this day and throughout Eastertide.
The Easter Bunny, Easter parades, and egg hunting are some other customs associated with Easter that are observed on Easter Day by both Christians and some non-Christians. Easter eggs are typically distributed on Easter Sunday. There are also a variety of traditional Easter foods that vary by region.
