Why Do We Celebrate Easter?

Ahoy! Let’s Think! Today we answer the question Why Do We Celebrate Easter?!
Like many holidays, Easter is tied to religious beliefs, specifically Christianity and is a day for celebration. Similar to springtime, when trees begin to turn green and flowers bloom, Easter is meant to celebrate victory over death. In the Christian religion, Easter was the day when Jesus resurrected from the dead. Unlike other holidays such as Christmas which is always celebrated on December 25, Easter has no set date and changes every year. The holiday does always fall on a Sunday sometime between March 22 to April 25.

Bunnies typically represent fertility, while eggs usually symbolize life and rebirth. It’s no wonder that Easter typically falls in the spring. What’s your favorite Easter tradition?
