Happy Easter

Filed under: Articles,Leisure |

Easter is the central religious feast in the Christian liturgical year.  According to Christian scripture, Jesus was resurrected from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion.   Some Christians celebrate this resurrection on Easter Day or Easter Sunday (also Resurrection Day or Resurrection Sunday), two days after Good Friday  and three days after Maundy Thursday.

Easter also refers to the season of the church year called Eastertide or Easter Season.  Traditionally the Easter Season lasted for the forty days from Easter Day until Ascension Day but now officially lasts for the fifty days until Pentecost.  The first week of the Easter Season is known as Easter Week or the Octave of Easter. Easter also marks the end of Lent, a season of fasting, prayer, and penance.

Easter is linked to the Jewish Passover by much of its symbolism, as well as by its position in the calendar. In most European languages the feast called Easter in English is termed by the words for passover in those languages and in the older English versions of the Bible the term Easter was the term used to translate passover.

Easter is also a time for some relatively newer fun elements such as the Easter Bunny and Easter egg hunts which have become part of the holiday’s modern celebrations, and those aspects are often celebrated by many Christians and non-Christians alike.

Whatever your religious beliefs, have a wonderful day… and here’s a great site to entertain the kids… http://www.happy-easter.com/
