The History of Easter
The origins of Easter can be traced back to ancient pagan festivals that celebrated the arrival of spring. The name "Easter" is derived from the Anglo-Saxon goddess Eostre, who was associated with new beginnings.
In the early centuries of Christianity, Easter was adopted by the Church as a way to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The date of Easter is determined by the lunar cycle, and it always falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox.
The Symbolism of Easter
Many of the symbols associated with Easter have their roots in ancient pagan traditions. For example, the egg is a symbol of new life, and the rabbit is a symbol of fertility.
In Christian tradition, the egg represents the empty tomb of Jesus, and the rabbit represents the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.

Easter is a time for celebration, and there are many different traditions associated with the holiday. Some of the most popular traditions include:
- Attending church services
- Giving and receiving Easter eggs
- Eating a special Easter meal
